"The design philosophy of the past few decades has made it more difficult to be self-reliant. […] This kind of learned helplessness leaves us bereft of something that’s at the core of being human: Individual agency – the experience of seeing a direct effect of your actions in the world, and knowing these actions are genuinely known."
— Philosopher and motorcycle repair-shop owner Matt Crawford, author of Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry Into the Value of Work, at TEDxEast. (via curiositycounts)
