“Seventy years ago, Leonard Read invited a pencil to tell its story. The lesson has not changed. Only the complexity has. I am a computer chip. I am a thin square of silicon, sealed in plastic, small enough to disappear into your phone, your car, your thermostat, or your pacemaker. You notice me only when I fail. Yet each day you ask more of me than entire rooms of machinery once delivered in a year. You may say I am made in factories, designed by engineers, financed by corporations, and regulated by governments. Each of these statements is true. And yet no single person on earth knows how to make me.” (02/26/26)
