thanks Kevin, I think this is the best attitude, i.e. recognizing limitations and quirks of the project, as with any project, but seeing how they fit in a larger ecology of solutions, where they definitely have a (important?) place ...<br>

</div>But good engineering drastically reduces the human footprint on the planet.<br>

In any case, although I know Marcin sees OSE as as model that pushes<br>
the overall boundaries of local autarky as far as it will go, it seems<br>
to me that his real place in the division of labor is pushing<br>
micromanufacturing and raw materials autarky as far as it will go.<br>
He's still definitely part of a larger ecology that includes stuff not<br>
being done at Factor e Farm.<br>
