I used this phrase I learned and so many of these ideas are sort of coming back to me now is the people are being de-skilled.

Your car is impenetrable to you.
It's all electronic.
You don't know what any of it means.
You can't fix your TV.
So you've got all of the, you've got the illusion.
the idea of control and comfort and air conditioning but actually there's going to be a moment one starts to feel where everything could get switched off and you don't know anymore how to kill an elk with a bow or how to hunt a fish with a spear or how to mend things and be a seamstress like my grandmother or grow vegetables successfully like everyone used to do my street had what's called an allotment where all the at the end of the road there was uh you know people could grow vegetables there there was a whole sort of like not i wouldn't say a field but a
patch of ground where you could do that.

No, we've got to make this food so cheap, it's disgusting.
We've got to preserve it, even though the process of preserving makes it toxic.
