Whenever I read about the Industrial Revolution, there’s often an argument that you would want to unquestionably live after the Industrial Revolution, and that the loss of jobs and culture that occurred is an easy trade off for the gains made after. But I’m not so sure, there was this change from working jobs like being a blacksmith or other job where you learned skills and owned the lifecycle, contrasted with the types of soul crushing factory jobs that came after.
