finally, Wendell Berry's standards for technological innovation--truly as relevant now as they were in 1987 #othernetworks

@loriemerson

How far back do you have to go, to find a time when many people would have agreed that slavery fell in the category of "family and community relationships", and was even among the most important? Technological innovation disrupted that, by separating the processing of chemical energy into mechanical work from the human body. I for one have no desire to go back.

@publius Slavery was recognized at the time it was practiced as an abomination by all decent people.

History classes just teach the awful people of their times as though they were the only ones whose opinions counted.

@dalias that's just a sad little troll, making a pathetic attempt to shit on someone else's post.
