Another myth of our pre-enlightened past is that it was a time of misery and want, with frequent starvation, especially for the lower classes. Here is the scientist John Locke in his diary dated 1 March 1681 on his interview with 108 year old working class Londoner, Alice George.

I guess this is how it is done for people who can't get funding through normal sources.

I worked on Taproot activation, Bitcoin Transcripts, Bitcoin StackExchange, London Bitcoin Devs this year. Also zero funding other than donations.

Let's relearn how to build elegant structures without reinforced concrete, or without concrete at all. Stair at St. Paul’s Chapel, Columbia University, built by hand with three layers of thin terracotta tile and mortar, 1904. Strong enough to support more people than would fit.

History in the walls of Exeter: at the bottom the purple volcanic stone that surrounded Roman Isca. On top of that the white Triassic sandstone used by the Saxons. Then red breccia stone used by the Normans and at the top 17th century Civil War repairs in grey volcanic trap.
