Thomas Carlyle skill and Jesus skill

Thomas Carlyle skill and Jesus skill.

Many a person lives in a brick house in the Pacific Northwest, dwellings that needed replacing by Keynesian investment in wooden construction in the Great Recession.

Duly note that whenever this 8.0 or 9.0 earthquake shakes our booty, future timber construction should have the foundation anchored to bedrock, and foundations attached to the earthquake-resistant pilings having enough flexibility to be anti-fragile.

What’s more, the dwellings should be off-the-grid capable for awaiting Nature’s entery into higher and higher levels of chaos motion (which is studied and remedied to a limited time frame by irregular-chaotic consistencies–principles of physics found in the science of chaos.)

Thomas Carlyle wrote (being spiritual mentor to Ralph Waldo Emerson) of the skill of masonry that was practiced with an adroitness and precision that one could tell between a well-constructed brick building and one found to have faulty construction. It is this skill at creation that stood the test of time in all weather, and perhaps, on the planet crust, where the structure is built. To this form of integrity can an emulation of this form of nature, integrity in creation, form the basis of human character.

You can read his work from the library, and figure out the level of skill in brick laying of your dwelling.

Further we can introduce Jesus the Carpenter.

You see, hobbyhorses are capable of building wooden cathedrals in the interior of their homes, with ornaments and high-grade wood which, in an earthquake, would support brick movement Away from the person’s living in the abode instead of falling upon them

And there you have it. Ralph Waldo Emerson’s spiritual advisor recommending, you look at construction integrity as a level of character formation. And Jesus of Nazareth stopping in at cathedrals built inwardly to save you from brick construction.

Spirituality with a heavy dose of pragmatic philosophy that checks the practical structural formation for its ability to fall not where it may, but fall where-you-know (that is away from you, instead of upon you.)
