I’d say that’s on a case-by-case basis. Hobbyists still weave on looms, even though there’s not strict need. People still build radio sets from scratch, and yadda-yadda…
One of the things that always interested me about living in a commune is that there’d be a need to do stuff like this to some extent, on an ongoing basis.
If you say so. But hobbyists are still doing crafts & stuff that mankind was doing thousands of years ago.
Or, look at mini-painting, par exemple. That’s something artists and tacticians were involved in since near the dawn of civilisation, and today, it’s kind of a super-hobby.
i think we’re arguing the same point but with different words. we keep having the same hobbies, just the medium might change over the years. like, first people were singing and beating animal hide drums, and now we’ve got dwarfcore, but it’s all music (and fun, if you’re into it).
