I've been seeing this doing the rounds lately...

I imagine this is very similar to what the monks who spent their entire lives carefully hand-copying bibles felt about the printing press in the 1400s.

"The allure of looms entices those people who fetishize fine textiles but dismiss the work. They're the people who tell knitters, "I'll give you the pattern, then you knit it, and we'll split the profits." For them, the vision is everything and the work is just an annoying obstacle. But the WORK is everything. The work is how a thing happens, where it's made, where skill is put to work. Looms in textiles are for the people who have no skill, no work, no effort, no ethic. They just want to push a flying shuttle."
