I'm a long-time packaging designer and hobby cosmologist. I try to avoid narratives as much as possible. Abstraction is a tool that might fail scrutiny, but if it prevails, it helps in assessing reality. We have no time for delusions.

Romans classified tools into three types:
​Silent (plows)
​Semi-voiced (oxen)
​Speaking (slaves)
​Slaves were biological machines converting food into work. This was their 'automation.'
Because of this, Rome never needed to invent the steam engine.
That inefficiency saved the planet.

So könnte es ausgesehen haben, wenn im alten Rom, in einer Bäckerei ein Sklave das Mehl gemahlen hat.
Das nannte man damals Automatisierung.
Die Römer waren Ingenieure, wenn sie es wirklich gewollt hätten, hätten sie auch fossile Brennstoffe eingesetzt. Nur dann gäbe es uns heute nicht...
