RE: Freedom Beyond Building Codes | DIY Natural Building @mountainjewel
This is a great point that is pertinent to many, many aspects of our lives. We know that regulations, laws and ideas about economics or how people behave have come from thousands of years of human mistakes. But also, a lot of it is baggage thrown in from a certain person's motives or a political move. We have the ability now, with internet housing history so completely and allowing us to communicate so quickly, to go back through each aspect and ask "What does this serve?" and if we can offer a solution that both solves the same problem AND is better in some way, we make changes. Or we may find that the idea or reg doesn't make any sense and we clean our slates. This article is a great deconstruction of something most people just blindly accept! <3
Baggage indeed. So much of the bureaucracy is just that, extra stuff. I appreciate the perspective you bring. The feedback loop you explain is simply WAY to rationale for mainstream culture though...
It's about time we cleaned our slates from a lot of the small and close minded thinking that led us down roads of destruction. Glad you valued the post and thanks for your input.
