[Thread] What are some examples of human craftsmanship that you appreciate?

@Mimieux I agree 💯 percent.

Oh please tell me about some very specific experiences. It forces me to appreciate human skill through a different lens. 🔍

Well here goes, I remember this new grad doctor who was only a GP, he diagnosed a thyroid issue correctly just by looking at blood reports, an issue which many specialists had earlier ruled out. I can't speak to how he went about that diagnosis but we always suggest people we know to consult this doc now.

I'm also partial to bakers and other small restaurant owners who are willing to go out of their way to maintain quality/variety of items and keep prices affordable. I remember when organic ingredients weren't an elite item used only in select shops but many places in middle class areas used them until they had to compete on price with multiplying bakeries.

I just don't understand the premium you need to now pay for quality ingredients and items that used to be widespread. But, to be fair, I wouldn't mind paying a bit more but I feel using the word organic or natural just gives you free rein to charge absurd sums😏

@Evictus Tell me more about the time when you experienced the greatest gastronomic experience.

Gaggan in Thailand.. was lucky to get a spot before it closed.. if you haven't heard, you should YouTube it.. food reimagined in unimaginable ways.. also check out chef's table on Netflix

@itzprobablyme Honestly, bridges and dams are amazing feats of human ingenuity.

It literally makes you tear up with joy, when you realise how human collaboration at scale helps us conquer everything.

In a way we are nothing but an ant colony, working together to be the greatest ever.

@itzprobablyme Tell me about your favourite bridge and the story behind it please? 🥹
