I found it very interesting how he and Adam Savage both talked a little about how ‘blue collared’ jobs and skills are a dying craft and I completely agree. There is much more that I want to say about that but what I mainly connected that to is that I have found that people cannot wrap their heads around ancient people being able to build and create massive or intricate crafts/structures anymore and part of that is because foundational crafts such as stoneworking, smithy, etc are no longer as common or people have little interactions with other people who can do those things. They also brought up an interesting point in that vein that I hadn’t thought of which was that people really look down on those jobs now, in part because we live in such an individualistic world. I also liked that Tom Sachs talked about how he was inspired (in the beginning) by Duchamps and his work with the ready-made. I was also fascinated with what he said about ADD because I also have ADHD and completely agree, there’s something about doing physical work like this that just calms your mind and shuts off any thoughts going a mile a minute.
