The Modern World's Disconnect from the Origins of Goods

The podcast explores the idea that in the past, people had a deeper understanding of the origins of the products they consumed. They were intimately acquainted with the people and tools involved in the production process. However, in today's world, there is a growing disconnect between consumers and the origins of their goods. This lack of knowledge leads to missed opportunities for wonder, gratitude, and guilt. People are often unaware of how their goods are manufactured and distributed, which can strip them of the chance to appreciate the intricacies of the production chain.
