Perhaps technology needs to be reborn. Modern technology is almost entirely based around inventions from world war 2 (with the exception of digital, i mean trains planes and automobiles and the like) and the mechanized world now seems much more limited because of this self-imposed basis of creation. For example, take a grain auger. No matter how large, how long, or how heavy, the descending beam we are trying to support may be, it's almost human nature (in actuality it's simplistic thinking) to want to support it with "legs". Even though there are many ways to disperse weight, often far more effiecent than propping something up my mind anyways always leans towards that. Is this merely a product of association, because i see such structures regularly i associate the idea with the technology? well, yes and no.
I see the forked prong holding the grain auger because of taking a small scale step, working the physics to a larger scale, and just making things bigger.
So, what the fuck am i talking about, you ask? All these seemingly hap-hazard inventions come from a time period where the primary concern in the hearts of almost all people's was winning a never-ending war. They were all a back drop to something more pertinant, even though all these aspects would eventually lead to victory, by taking whole. The russians won world war 2 because they directly took whole, nothing was arbitrary and all was related to the prime motivator. Our lives seem inconsequntial because rather than moving the universe or field into one direction, all our energy is displaced into an array of things.
