What has this relatively recent detachment from nature meant for humanity?
Take the number of farm workers in 1850 compared to 1950 — it’s a collapse of almost 90% because of automation. People are more disconnected from the land and cities became bigger. That means that people who think of themselves as being educated, smart and well-read are smart, educated and well-read — but they can’t milk a cow. We let other people do that, and we step into a world where we never really think about where things come from.
