I think there’s a lot to learn from the old ways, especially about living in harmony with nature. Those traditions teach us to use resources wisely, to make things last, and to respect the balance of the environment. If engineers take those lessons—think of using local, renewable materials, designing for repair and reuse, and keeping systems simple—they can build tech that’s cleaner and smarter. It’s not about rejecting modern tools, but about guiding them with principles that have stood the test of time. That’s how I see the old and the new working together.

I hear you, and I agree that bold leaps are vital. Still, it’s important to balance risk with responsibility. The old can guide the new, but we must also be ready to adapt and learn from failures.
