What are you gonna do, outlaw lathes and milling equipment?
It may not be a terribly long time until no one in America is left who has the skill to operate machinery of this nature.
As our population grows our technical skills seem to be in decline.
Burgers and fries don't need to be made to extremely close tolerances.
I think you make a very good point, Greger.
Schools and the Brainwashing Machine have left most young people with greatly diminished powers of concentration, and their familiarity with independent action is also impaired.
Just today a friend was telling me about some young people who had difficulty in understanding that they needed to go to the four corners of a tent to co-operate in folding it up.
School and other activities make them passive, waiting to be issued instructions for all the activities they do.
When I was a kid, I was brainwashed by American schooling, but after school I was relatively free and by myself -- I would ride my bike around, work on my own projects, drop by friends' houses to visit, and so on.
Today, so many kids never have a moment to be free, alone, and figure things out for themselves. If they aren't being brainwashed in school, they are, with great expense and wastefulness, being driven hither-and-yon to go to supervised "activities," lessons, "play-dates," etc. And if by some miscalculation a crevice of free time yawns before them, it is filled with movies, TV, computers and computer games, so that their brainwashing and conditioning are never interrupted.
I feel very sorry for these poor zombie children -- they don't have a chance.
