Ok so now I have a dream. Is not as good as the dream the other guy had but it's my dream.

I want to build a course, or a series of courses, where one rebuilds the world. It's the sort of thing one could do slowly with one's kids.

Yes it's like that book "the knowledge" and related stuff. But Inhave done things like building a sextant to use that to measure the circumference of the earth and so on, and really I never imagined Incoukd actually build my own cpu to run my own language - but it's there.

One could literally go from fire, to solar system, to lime and then to CPUs.

The world we live in is insanely complex, but it is ... rebuildable

I guess I am inspired by the quote Feynman left on his blackboard - "that which I cannot recreate I do not understand"
