I've wanted engineering / infrastructure appreciation for a long time. Science and tech museums don't really treat it that way. Also, if humanists turn up their noses, what's our word for uncultured?

One summer my mom and a friend's mom planned a bunch of factory 'field trips' for the kids. We went to a cheese factory, the Hershey's factory, the Jelly Belly factory, a fortune cookie factory, and...a Budweiser factory. I still have vivid memories of each!

I used to give duct tours. People do not get to stand in enough air ducts and be excited by the scale of machinery and I decided it was time. Machine rooms are magical. 2000A circuits! Gigantic chillers! Enthalpy wheels!! And, really large ducts. I think I swayed some normies?

I think part of the antipathy towards this in general is the ritualised insider-outsider dance of humiliation. I used to give tours of carriages, and about 85% of my job was managing tourist feelings. People often want to try to establish dominance, not understand.
