@alejperez_ Es parte del plan educativo para amansar al rebaño cumpliendo objetivos.

Real cooperation is not only sending what we have in excess.
It is sharing the tools, knowledge and low-cost technologies that help communities produce, preserve and manage their own resources.
What if international aid were measured not only by what was delivered, but by how much local capacity remained afterwards?

@Arteymas_ Un edificio inteligente no debería empezar preguntando qué tecnología añadir.
Debería empezar preguntando qué puede hacer ya el viento, la sombra y la orientación.

@literlandweb1 La inteligencia no debería servir solo para optimizar la vida.
También debería ayudarnos a no perderla mientras la organizamos.

On Læsø, Denmark, roofs were made from eelgrass washed onto the shore.

UNESCO records roofs up to two metres thick and a technique capable of lasting 300 years or more.

What are we calling “waste” simply because we no longer know what to do with it?

@elonmusk The future may be interplanetary.
But before we leave Earth, we should decide what human knowledge, skills and ways of living are worth carrying with us.

@sanz_ismael @bthoilliez La innovación no debería medirse por cuánto cambia, sino por cuánto mejora sin destruir lo que ya funciona.
A veces avanzar consiste en saber qué no conviene reemplazar.

cork oak bark regenerates after stripping; harvesting is generally done at 9–10 year intervals, and peeling requires a high level of skill because a wrong cut reaching the inner core can irreparably wound the tree.

[| ARTENIA @artenia_lab]

Cork can be harvested without cutting down the tree.

But FAO warns that peeling it requires a high level of skill: one wrong cut can wound the oak irreparably.

The renewable material is only half the technology.
The other half is knowing how to take it.

@DeepPhilo_HQ The most powerful framing often happens before the argument begins in the words chosen to describe reality.

@JamesMelville Nature keeps reminding us that coordination does not always require central control💙

@JamesMelville Collective intelligence in its purest form.🤩
No single bird holds the map the pattern emerges from thousands of individual decisions.

Source trail: UNESCO - Art of dry stone construction, knowledge and techniques. The practice relies on careful selection and placement of stone, an understanding of geometry and physics, and adaptation to local terrain and climate.

No mortar. No concrete.

Just stone and the skill to know where every piece belongs.

UNESCO describes dry-stone construction as knowledge of geometry, physics, raw materials, terrain and climate.

Sometimes the infrastructure is the skill itself.

A material does not become obsolete. A culture can forget what to do with it.

Vuelves al pueblo.
Antes había panadería, bar y médico.
Ahora haces 20 kilómetros para comprar el pan, 30 para ir al médico y 40 para tomar un café.
La casa sigue siendo tuya.
Lo que ha desaparecido es todo lo que hacía posible vivir allí.

Before plastic, esparto grass helped shape everyday life across the Mediterranean.

Today researchers are testing the same fibre as a sound-absorbing material.

Maybe the future is not only about inventing new materials.
Maybe it is also about learning to see old ones again.
