Hey, folks,
Interesting (long) article in the times today, by a guy with a degree in political philosophy from the U of Chicago who now has made a career as a motorcycle mechanic. Many, many of the ideas are transferable to woodworking, and this community is uniquely positioned to appreciate it, as so many of us are nominally 'knowledge workers' by day, who directly interact with the physical world in our shops. I spent a lot of time laughing and nodding at many of his points...

hope you enjoy it as much as I did...
Thanks,
Bill
