It's called specialization, moran. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70113760 Nobody in the world does not know how to build everything, not even just ten things from different categories. We specialize in order to be more productive. As long as everything works it is the best strategy. When it stops working,... well, even your knowledge on the cultivation will not let you produce the simplest antibiotic. Therefore, all prepers is deprived of imagination fools. A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. -Robert A. Heinlein |

Does it seem strange that 99.9% of the country and the world have been left in the stone age to rot and weep, having little more understanding than an animal in the woods, yet there is a micro .1% group that actually has the knowledge and understanding to rebuild this technology from scratch, as well as create new technology, and they have no interest in sharing that knowledge, or the real life application of it. Behold, the source of their power, the consolidation of real knowledge, and the willful animalization of the masses. In a fair world, this would have never happened, but life isn't fair, it's a brutal cut throat place. To verify my claims, question as many people as you can find on whether they have a clue where to start with building a "smart phone" from scratch, or a standard motherboard for a desktop, or even just a desktop power supply, toaster or coffee maker, and you won't find one person that could ever do it for you, regardless of any amount of money presented, because they're not qualified. Welcome to full spectrum slavery, where 99.9% of the population are collectively useless, sucking on the tit of a .1% group that doesn't even respect them enough to show themselves. This group murdered a lot of people to consolidate to this point, and if anyone finds out what they've done and goes digging, they'll kill as many more as they need to, to keep it all under wraps and in their hands. The root of their power is the fact that the majority of people absolutely need them, and without them, things would literally deteriorate into nothing, as most have been turned from what could have been a human being, into an animal in the woods.

One of the beautiful things about the world is that individuals are given the option to act or not to act. It is through that choice that things are wrought. Believing that a higher entity uses an invisible hand to manipulate the actions of humanity is a way many people avoid taking action, or take action without thought. If the we slip backwards as OP is suggesting, there will be many who will simply say it's the will of god, and ignore the fact that it was indeed the actions/inactions of people which led us to the calamity. |

What worries me more is that 99% of people can't build the 1800's technology from scratch or understand the concepts behind them. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 60982567 In my opinion this is one of the most logical posts on this whole thread. As is typical of GLP these days, it has yet to receive a reply. I'll gladly reply, though. You're 100% correct. One has to learn to walk before one can learn to run. I see new initiatives to teach students computer programming languages and I am alarmed. In my experience, programming relies upon algorithm development and algorithm development relies on logic. Not many young people seem to be learning logic, or thinking in a logical manner these days. OP talked about building technology from scratch, but think about how many people couldn't even assemble a regular desktop computer with industry standard modular components. I think a great social experiment would be to find 10 or 20 smartphone users on the street, and give them a box with everything required to assemble a personal computer inside. They would have access to a work space and any necessary tools and would be given a 1 or 2 hour time limit to build the machine and simply have it POST, and would be compensated regardless of whether they completed the task. Even if they were also allowed to use a brand new, fully-functioning laptop with high-speed internet access to look up guides or YouTube videos, I wonder how many of them could do it... |

Herbs and medicinal plants, foods, animals...the items to build shelter. We don't necessarily need other things. If there is ever an issue of total collapse, technology isn't going to matter.

In a collapse situation, a very in-depth knowledge set would be required to rebuild from the ground up, and if we wanted to get things back to where they are now, it would take more than .1% of the population knowing how to build all this stuff from the raw materials. Even power line wire is extremely hard to make, and that's just the beginning of the complexity. |

It's kind of funny how quite a few have tried to shill this issue, even though it's at the root of all our problems. The fact that such a small percentage of people understand how to rebuild all of this technology, means that they can basically abuse that knowledge in any way that they want to, without repercussion. 9/11 is a good example of this type of abuse of power and knowledge.. They knew that not only would the majority not see through the lie, but they wouldn't be able to comprehend the science behind it to begin with. The science says that the beams of the buildings shooting hundreds of feet laterally took an energy level that not only could jet fuel not produce, but neither thermite/thermate either. It took around the same energy level that it would take to shoot a 200 pound cannon ball 3 miles. Hmm, I wonder what produced such energy? |
