I like this a lot and agree that it’s important. Working with physical objects is maybe my biggest weakness as a human being right now. I spent most of my life working with mental objects and spent most of the last year-ish working with emotional objects, but I’m still relatively disconnected from metal and stone and wood and fire.
I know a guy in Boulder who’s just been building a tea house for the last few months, and the main thing he posts on Facebook is pictures from the construction site. It’s incredibly refreshing.
I’ve also occasionally suggested that high school should be replaced by dropping off all the teenagers into a jungle and picking up whoever’s left 4 years later, for this reason among others.
