Can the internet enable a more hands on life?
Simon lives a life that‘s so beautiful it almost looks unattainable. But he thinks it could be for you too.
You may have seen Simon’s essays about building a house from scratch, Simi’s hand-made clothing, or the family garden that children always seem to be learning to play and work within.
He wasn’t born into a family of woodworkers of even gifted with social ease - but he decided both skills were desirable and cultivated them. I wanted to understand how Simon built this life from Scratch. For this reason, I reached out to Simon for a conversation about the Third Oikos, and how at this moment in time, the internet can paradoxically enable a more physical, hands-on life.
This is part one of a two-part interview.
