Love this perspective; the line 'The machine pulls the thread through mechanical wheels, under tension he doesn’t control, at speeds he doesn’t set' vividly illustrates the profound shift in agency from human to mechanism, a dynamic so relevant to understanding automation today.

Thanks Roxy! And we are only just understanding the cognitive effects of this.
What are your thoughts here? What effects do you think the Industrial Revolution and the introduction of machinery had on the human mind?
Brilliant as always. I love how you’ve made the abstract easy to digest. Quite the feat of meta-cognition :) I look forward to next week!
Thanks for the comment and support Mino! 🙏
