Make, fix and create... offset the growing impact of artificial intelligence by doing something real.
This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

Happy labor day
People should read Mike Rose's book "The Mind at Work:Valuing the Intelligence of the American Worker." It was published in 2005 and I offer it as a classic. He was inspired by his mother (a waitress), his uncle Frank (a welder) and his own highs school experience to reevaluate the relative intellectual content of various professions and trades and the social stratification that results from the colossal misunderstanding of intellect and how it evolves with the assistance of the hands. https://amzn.to/3I1sAQu
