"Some people have viewed this project through the lens of sustainability. While self-sufficiency and locally sourced material would certainly seem to be sustainable, my methods fail quite spectacularly in environmental analysis. For one, I used an estimated 20 kg of charcoal to produce perhaps 20 g of metal…
My project is about the origin of technologies- the ability for them to emerge out of context- but not their ability to sustain themselves. A sustainable society is not really the most natural option; humans began as a nomads exhausting the resources of places and then moving on. Maybe people in the future will look back on us just as we can look back on our predecessors, and see the answer to a lasting society lying on the ground all around us, just waiting to be put together with the right information."
