Hi SS: I'm sorry that the media has become so anti-
that you have to go out of your way to be pro-
just to come out even!
It looks like this particular application was a collaborative effort.
Because of the housing demand in China with excess population,
the necessity of that inspired the use of 3D printing to make
faster cheaper housing by layering the materials.
(Also see what the need for fuel efficient cars inspired:
Elio Motors: Ultra High Mileage Vehicle
and yes this is another white man, professional engineer/manager formerly with GM)
Of the greatest contributions I would list:
* the founders who transcribed natural laws into what became our
Constitution and Bill of Rights
* whoever developed the Internet
but the applications of these still require collaborative effort
and innovation to expand the education and knowledge of laws
to all people to become self governing in groups
* any form of music (when I hear the classic symphonies and orchestral instruments,
I am reminded how divine the gift of music is, and I wonder at the wide variety of cultures)
* all religions that reflect universal spiritual laws (especially Buddhism and Christianity
which I find amazing how these universal concepts and languages have influenced so
many lives across centuries and continents, to which I would also add Constitutional laws to the list.
Of these you can credit Constitutionalism to the white founding fathers from European traditions,
but for Buddhism this is mainly rooted in Asian cultural tradition, and Christianity is a mix of old and modern cultures
mostly typified by the Western/American expressions though other cultures and denominations are widely diversified)
The natural laws America was founded upon remain the same (but in practice change with each diverse application), but come from God or Nature as the universal source of life
and was not "invented" by man, much less white men, but came THROUGH
the European lineage as a traditional patriarchal culture that documents history
in a linear structure.
This certainly helped provide lasting structure and tradition, and the added advantage of
the other cultures that are more "collectively" and "relatively" oriented is to expand on and share this knowledge on even broader scales.
We are going through a phase of balancing those approaches, the linear approach that is more Eurocentric vs. the the collective/relative approach that is more inclusive;
and instead of trying to void one for the other.
Blacks and women can't do technology. Blacks sing and dance and play sports. Women become social workers and guidance counselors. Only white/asian males have the math brains to be engineers and businessmen - the people who make things.
3D printer creates 10 houses in a DAY | Mail Online
28 April 2014
A company in China claims to have built 10 detached houses within 24 hours, using the modern technology.
The compact houses were constructed using waste material which was pumped out into layers - and the properties were said to have been created for less than $5,000 (£2,974) each.
The recipe for the quick drying cement is top secret, but is made entirely from recycled materials.
Four huge printers measuring 105ft (32 metres) long, 33ft (10 metres) wide and 22ft (6.6 metres) tall were used to make the bungalows, China’s Xinhua news agency reported.
Chinese firm Win Sun piped a mixture of cement and construction waste to build up walls layer-by-layer during the speedy construction process.
P.S. about people who make things
you can also point out how much of the inventions by "white men"
have DESTROYED things. that should at least come out even!
