Do You Have The Skills To Live In A Post Technology World?

I thrived in a pre-technology world. I'm sure I can do it again.

If a squirrel can build a nest without any training, I figure I can weave a basket from pine needles.

I can tell, from this, that you have never carried fire brick.

You have never built a kiln.

You have never dug clay, nor have you slaked it, and then dried it until the moisture content was just right.

You have never coiled a pot, nor thrown one.

You have never mixed raw materials into a glaze that would fit the body you are firing.

You have never chopped 3 cords of wood to fire a kiln, ONCE.

But for you, making pottery, isn't hard. IN YOUR MIND!!!

I am not trying to be rude.

Most people nowadays have no idea what REAL, HAND TOOL LABOR actually feels like, nor how difficult SURVIVAL actually is.

I wish that on nobody.

I did the "Mother Earth News" thing, back in the early '80's.

It SUCKS!

But I know how.

Can GLP survive on a "two cans and a string" system?

Humans are very adaptable. If we don't have the skills, we will obtain and develop them when push turns to shove. However...

There are a lot of spoiled rotten people. They will not accept any other lifestyle than what they previously had. These are the ones that will probably kill themselves rather than learn how to farm and raise/ harvest livestock. Even washing their own clothes on a rock down by the river may be too much for them to handle. But, the strong and intelligent will survive. And those are the kinds of people we want to populate the planet, and not the spoiled rotten blood sucking ignorant lazy parasites.

Technology will never go away. We may lose some ground, but it will be regained. We will not forgo electricity and all the benefits that provides. But we can do without the non-essentials, i.e. cable teevee, dishwashers, cell phones, etc.
