Is it normal i get angry when i see earth moving machines?

Like Bulldozers and shit like that. Im not one to preach about saving the earth because im definitely not green but man it makes me angry seeing them. People tell me its progress for the future but there is no progress. I just see change.

    I remember reading somewhere about Walmart wanting to try out automated service stores with no employees. The idea of machines replacing people makes me angry.

    They will eventually rot back into the earth as their operators grow old and die, so take some comfort in that

      So you're saying that the operators of these machines will not exist eventually? As in new people are not learning these types of skills?

        The machines will break down and be destroyed and the people running them will die. Eventually humans will be exctinct anyway and then nobody will use any of this equipment anymore.

    I think there are more pressing environmental issues than construction equipment. Now, if they're being used to destroy natural environments to make way for unnecessary human creations, I think your anger might be justified.

      • You seem like the kind of person who'd be interested to learn that a multi-year excavation led by Jean-Jacques Hublin's team (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Germany) revealed in June 21017 the discovery of fragment specimens of homo sapiens roughly 300,000 yo in Morocco. It was/is a big deal since what many leading paleontologists call “the cradle of humankind” was thought to be in East Africa about 195,000 years ago. Or maybe I'm projecting my nerdiness, in which case, never mind.

          I took archaeology at uni so you'd be right :P The world is full of 'anomalies' that don't fit into what we think we know about the past. I think that stuff is fascinating.

          • Cool! I feel the same. The fields of psychology, sociology, linguistics, history and archeology are of particular fascination to me, but really, I'm just passionate about learning in general. Did/do you go on excavations?

              Yeah we helped on projects at uni. We found roman roads, building foundations, graves, all sorts.
              I mostly found beads and pottery and stuff, probably roman rubbish piles haha. Still though, holding something that somebody was holding thousands of years ago is an incredible feeling.
              Sounds interesting, pretty much the same here! I'm trying really hard not to ramble on but there are some good ted talks on those subjects if you like that kind of thing.
