When you have to be careful.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

This is the twen­ty-third in a series of posts reflec­ting on our willin­gness to remem­ber and the qua­li­ty of that know­ledge. These posts should be read in order of publi­ca­tion. Star­ting with num­ber six, for example, would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

Some are pas­sio­nate about sur­vi­va­lism. I am pas­sio­nate about intel­lec­tual sur­vi­va­lism. What’s the point of going back to the Stone Age if we can manage our fall? My ana­ly­sis leads me to believe that the digi­tal age could fail us. For seve­ral rea­sons. The com­plexi­ty of today’s tech­no­lo­gies depends on the addi­tion of the know­ledge and know-how of many people. I could explain to you how my key­board works and how the cen­tral pro­ces­sing unit of my computer’s mother­board cap­tures my keys and places them in memo­ry to store them in a docu­ment. I could also explain how these cha­rac­ters are dis­played on the screen, how my com­pu­ter com­mu­ni­cates via the Inter­net, etc.

What I couldn’t do is rebuild this machine. Even if I knew how to do it, it would be impos­sible for me to rebuild this machine from scratch. So I took my thin­king fur­ther by “decons­truc­ting” each brick of our dai­ly tech­no­lo­gi­cal life to the point where I could gain know­ledge and know-how and, for a rea­so­nable cost-bene­fit, the cost inclu­ding the time inves­ted, repro­duce this tech­no­lo­gy and use it. Let’s see where this has led me.
