Welcome to a brand of
Mathematical
Services.
I comment on a video of a bus rise into downtown Leeds, UK. Leeds
in1900 had half the
population of Bradford, but now it is a bigger city and getting bigger
(or should I say more people
at least). Look at all the high rise blocks and the ones being built
along Whitehall Road, close to the center.
These sre not back to back slum dwellings (allegedly) as in Bradford,
but flats, offices of concrete, steel and glass in the sky. Leeds is
building high rise, whilst Bradford takes it down.
I hope the trends are right, and that this is not a battery farm on
steriods. We seem to have worked
through the fiddling of the working man, we've done away with many of
his traditional roles
through mechanisation, computerisation (a long way to go I would say),
but lets hope the masters of these
technologies, the stewards of money, the derived wool stapler, is not
going to indulge the temptation
to further turn the screw himself, if there is now not the need (to
combat the fiddler). Thus the jobs
are gone, the traditional ones, so lets hope there is not a
proliferation of the made up ones, to justify the
living off the rent of the dicing and slicing the living space again.
That real roles blossom, fulfilling,
enjoyable ones. Lets hope he is now not living off the extinct wool
comber but the desperate, the migrant,
the ungrateful newcoomber sidestepping the fiddling or problems in his
origin. Lets hope we have a better structure this time,
and that the structure, is simply not a celebtration of an artificial
structure.
