Designing amazing machines
Sometimes I recall these years now, when I was a student of engineering, designing amazing machines, dreaming to do important work, so willing to put my heart blood into “things”.
Designing machines and inventing things actually became my profession for a while. And I actually left my mark, so to speak, in this crazy field. But I soon found it strangely unsatisfying to contribute to the “mechanization” of the world, to the endless creation of unnecessary things. Instead of making things and changing things I wanted to understand things, and this great investigation became my life.
Engineering is still in my blood, as it obviously is in the genes of our entire species. But I don’t see the world as a playground to be changed and adapted to our wishes and therefore in need for skills how to do that. I don’t think the world is in any real need of our improvements and creations.
