Finished reading Stewart Brand's “Maintenance of Everything” the most underrated idea in civilization. 3 takeaways that are sticking with me:
1. Maintenance isn't optional. Neglect quietly kills everything.
2. Monitoring, repair, replacement. It’s all one continuous act of keeping things alive.
3. Taking responsibility for maintaining something is a radical act.
Civilization isn't built. It's maintained.
