We seem to forget that the Greek techne (Ď„Îχνη) means "art," "craft," or "skill." In ancient Greece, techne referred to the knowledge of how to make or do something— and I think ultimately technology is a subset of techne. Techne is who we’ve always been. Space infrastructure, flying cars, and new AI models - maybe aren’t futuristic technologies, but rather as inevitable tributaries in the river of techne and humanity over time

We used to label all of our crop sessions the “Art, Science, and Craft of Growing X” Never have heard of techne I’m pretty illiterate when it comes to classic languages; yet I like the notion of progress including skill. Look forward to reading the writing. https://www.brixbounty.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Brix-Bounty-2017-NOFA-Summer-Conference-Profitable-Onions-6-slides-per-page.pdf
