IF THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD…GUTENBERG INVENTED NUKES?
History—if we can believe all that mythology cluttered with facts tells us that it was on this day in 1456 Gutenberg completed the first book printed with a “press” and of course it was the Bible. I don’t want to throw shade on this but what if that’s just the story. What if the first book was really
How to relieve yourself wearing a full suit of armor “. Or maybe it was really “101 Uses for Sheep?” Well let’s move on because we can’t verify anything like this really….. Let’s say he printed this one book and it was the Bible and so it began. Just like the auto workers and warehouse workers of today do you think there were a bunch of monks wondering what isn’t the world they were going. To do with their quill pens now?
Anyway this is the first seeking peace and joy point today….don’t worry about your job become infected obselete or changing…because it will and learning is your answer.
Second, let’s imagine that books are more than something that college bookstores charge a king’s ransom for and maybe conceptualize them as the place where we go to get ideas. Maybe the printing press was like the first oil wells pumping fossil fuels out of the earth and at first we only had a limited quantity. Now about 2.2 million books are published each year and let’s not even try to calculate how much information is now being shared electronically …. What we have now is a reviewable fuel source for ideas and although some folks are temp ted to control these ideas and refuse to admit how these ideas impact the overall learning environment….other folks are all for the research and development of new and innovative concepts and ideas. Seeking peace and joy seems to fit.better with the idea of renewal and innovation. There may be great value in taking the used oily notions produced by McFries and using it to heat a pre-school classroom where we are teaching kids to draw “the cities of the future” or “what. A space ship might look like.”
Anyway… here’s to Gutenberg and his repurposed wine press…We might notice that Jesus turned. Water into wine and then Gutenberg took a wine press and turned paper into a Bible…Coincidence?
