Fire is an example of technology? 🤔
I thought it was a process. nostr:note1kw7pmjndsffxfmjss2qqtzlnmjltze40v8ns80rttrhpz86jwc5seq38wc

Like, nobody invented fire, it was discovered. It doesn’t need us or technology to occur…
We invented purposefully starting fires and using it as a tool to cook food and warm spaces. So, we didn't invent fire, but we invented the hearth used to control fire.
The invention of purpose must have been crazy like whaaa 🤯 there’s a point to all this?? 🤣
Well this can lead to quite a philosophical debate on whether anything is ever truely invented or do we just discover things and refine them over time... usually the things we create are replications of natural things or processes, example: A camera is a replica of the eye.
Then there are more complex things like a mobile phone, but modern smartphones are essentially just incredibly well refined slates for enscribing and messaging (at their most basic use case). Did anyone really invent the slate or did they discover that they could chisel recognizeable symbols into it which others could then interpret.
A computer could be argued to be an immitation of flow of energy, much like a river combined with logic like an abacus (or piles of stones)... if gravity and slope then direction of flow this way, if dam then diversion of flow to an altered result.

Loving your descriptions man! Keep going 🤣
Give me a technology and i'll try out my mental gymnastics on how it's really just an immitation of nature 😅
Man I think you’re right archetypes are very very rare because they tend to be seen and imitated, as soon as the first copy is made, it’s like game over for the real in a way. You know what I mean?
Pretty much 😊👌🏼
Narrow it down a bit? A technology that exists? Or a tech that we still dream about having at our disposal???
