John Deer and bereavment counselor

John deer, created a tool to allow for the plowing of the great american grasslands and opened up the west and midwest for development,
bereavment counselors will do the same for the community, community members wont grieve with the widow as this is now the counselors job, creating a dessert where a community once flourished
One day the counselor wont be able to help anyone who has no family support, and the counselo will be in the dessert, one of her own making
"They envision a prairie scattered with pyramids of new technologies and techniques, each designed to correct the error of its predecessor but none without its own error to be corrected."
four ways to measure if we have new technologies about to create desserts

  • money, is it worth it to spend money to cover our land with concrete to increase transportation?
  • specific counterproductivity, like prison systems that create criminals, schools that create dumb people, for example in massachusets when juevinile prisons were closed juviniel crime decreased, and in israel when doctors went on strike death rates decreased
  • loss of knowledge-europeans who farmed successfully for centuries over there, came here, saw the vast amount of land and used deere's equipment to make desserts-example is breastfeeding, at one time it became a less healthy recommendatino to canned milk, and one women who wanted to breast feed had a hard time finding someone who remembered it, 
  • hidden curriculum- the invisible message between professional and client is "you will be better because i know better"
