Schumacher on Scientific and Humanistic Education: tasteforsigns.micro.blog
@andrewz This book continues to haunt me from all sides, clearly for me to read this year.
Lots of resonance here with my comments about attention-directing as part of the goal of education. The more technological capability we have, the more we have to be willing to refuse.
@isaacgreene Yes, my interest in the topic of limits (thanks to Wendell Berry, Ivan Illich) has had me aware of/interested in Schumacher for years, but I finally just took the plunge and ordered a copy. Much of what he wrote here in the 70s (esp. re: natural capital/ecology/technology) feels prophetic when looking at the subsequent 50 years and the climate crisis.
