Lori Emersonfinally, Wendell Berry's standards for technological innovation--truly as relevant now as they were in 1987 #othernetworks
Earthshine@loriemerson Yes 100% to all of this. Though I'm not entirely sure what they mean by "some form of solar energy" in that context... it sounds like they mean generally renewable or naturally abundant in the local environment?
Space Hobo@earthshine @loriemerson You can imagine that all of these criteria were derived in reverse from the premise that bicycles are amazing technology that fit our society extremely well.
@earthshine @loriemerson I suspect a lot of this was inspired by Ilich's Tools For Conviviality.
