Efficiency robbed us of quality

Efficiency robbed us of quality

Apr 04, 2023

Just sitting here having a quality break and thinking about how these cinnamon twists are still good but were so much better fresh out of the oven on sunday and how in the name of progress and efficiency we've been robbed of quality, because quality usually lies in time and process.

Even the best tailor won't do a good job just from measurements half way across the globe. Proximity, time, process, care.

Stripped away, slowly, until we don't even have the time or ability to make things for ourselves or others as we work on everything but our day to day quality of life. In the end, only the ultra rich who can afford to pay have the excess because time has been stolen with the promise of giving us more time.

The scariest is that it's so easy to forget, or not even know, qhat quality we've been robbed of. Just think of how few people actually know what it feels like to wear made to measurements clothing in high quality natural fabrics.

We are robbed of the chance to learn to cover our own and each others individual needs for the sake of growing the economy.

We lose quality, mental and physical health and the health of the planet we're a part of in the process.
