people donโ€™t understand this, but because of the collapse of industrialized society (manufacturing leaving the west) whole generations of smart people in various fields simply didnโ€™t pass on skills. in advanced manufacturing, *most* of the top talent is the equivalent of hedge chemists, or taking side gigs as data scientists, or are hobbyists, or retired. i assume this is Not true in China. the point is a lot of new expertise needs to build up here. a lot of that is going to come from outsiders, reviving lost arts, and sharing what they learn along the way, unlocking new resources. cc @SamoBurja
