INSIGHT

Corporatization Killed Practical Skills

  • Durendal observed modern corporatization and education infantilize people and remove traditional self-employment skills.
  • He argues this shift left society dependent on wage labor and hollowed practical know-how from communities.
ANECDOTE

Investing In One Man Changes Lives

  • Durendal described mentoring a young, inexperienced worker by paying for his driver's permit and arranging training opportunities.
  • Small investments and guidance turned the recruit into a reliable, loyal worker who repays the favor in labor and trust.
ADVICE

Rotate Trainees Through Real Jobs

  • Do mentor and rotate young workers through projects and trades to develop real skills.
  • Use existing local tradespeople to teach apprentices patience and craft rather than expecting formal schooling to do it.
