Reading Carlyle's "Past and Present" has me questioning our modern work life. In a world of endless emails and Zoom calls, have we lost touch with meaningful labor?

Crazy idea: What if we created a "Work Playground" - a place to experience real, tangible work in a controlled environment? Like Build-A-Bear, but for adults craving the satisfaction of hard labor.

Imagine a space where you could:

*Build part of a house
*Grow food
*Fix an engine
*Code a robot
*Power wash a patio

No meetings. No emails. Just real work, real results, real satisfaction.

Would you visit a "Work Playground"? What would you want to create?
