The author highlights the advantages of software in terms of being able to revert and improve,
They emphasize the challenges of managing land and the constant battle against entropy, using the example of fetching water from a well.
managing physical systems requires more complex systems and human labor, which is currently considered “blue-collar” work.
For example, imagine designing a user interface for a system that manages land and physical resources. The interface would need to consider the various complexities and challenges faced by the management team, such as monitoring and maintaining different technologies used in land management.
Software has this beautiful way of being tool complete and much harder to regress than physical things. You can always revert software.
The management problem on the land is not as simple, and you start to empathize with the professional managerial class more.
Consider going to a well to fetch water. Every day, you have to do that. And every day you do it, it doesn’t become easier. You can’t automate it without a different type of technology. You wouldn’t be using buckets, but rather pipes and a pump. (pre industrial revolution, this technology was humans)
Robotic robot fixers. With that, energy and raw material enters,
Robotic robot fixers. With that, energy and raw material enters, and entropy is maintained.
I’m likely shelving the land project. The initial goal of it was to build something >= self sustaining without my labor, and ideally eventually without any human labor
potentially hire someone with a >1 MC who has clever ways to approach this project, I know a lot of people are interested in this general area.
Would require you to live on the land and work with very little direction toward being able to live completely off grid with a high standard of living. The ideal candidate would be someone who is working on this anyway. Land has water, beautiful views, tons of sunlight, 5G internet, 3 broken tractors, and a (beat up) trailer to live in initially.
think like an off grid airbnb manager. Job would be part time; you’d be able to keep a full time remote job.
