N.B. :  This is a repeat of my first post for this blog back in September 2006 WHO SAID THAT HAND WORK WAS NOT AS NOBLE AS BRAIN WORK? WHOEVER DECLARED THAT HANDS HAVE LESS VALUE THAN BRAINS?  The most beautiful human achievements until this day have been made with bare hands.  Cathedrals, with bare hands. Pyramids too. Christopher Columbus' caravels were built with bare hands. And so were Captain Cook's vessels. Your wedding cake was made with bare hands. And the breams in the ocean are caught with bare hands. The potter, the mechanic, the surgeon, the hairdresser and the others... All of them get their hands dirty to create our world, to shape our planet on a daily basis.   Naturally, some of these manual tasks are dirty and repetitive. Degrading even. But there are intellectual tasks too that are repetitive and dumb. We slowly get rid of them through the ages by inventing machines. Should we deplore this?  This world of ours being in constant mutation, it may be a good idea
