Antikythera of K'nex

[kavaris]

Im posting a vid that shows people/kids the type of cool stuff we use to have in the 90s. Because, maybe yous know this, maybe yous werent around for this, but we had this fkn cool thing like Legos, but it was more like this, or the idea of it to me was to be like

That is, you wouldnt build w/ blocks but w/ *frames. And you would be k'nnecting a corner piece to a long piece to establish the frame (i heard it called a "rod" so maybe thats what that piece is called, no clue)

And, such that you could have these other elements involved. Now i dont know if there was cogs and gears like this back then, as that surely wouldve been cool (note, i jus looked it up nd they did have cogs nd gears nd crzy sht like that)

But the point is like, how do we start the next generation out with what is already on a path that is like, grounded and capable of making things that arent just the current paradigm of professions?

Like instead of that, it would be more about maintaining the fuckedness that is the life theyll be in, and perhaps doing it simpler and better, as there hasnt really been anything inventive since like, well i mean everything has been inventions on top of a present tower—the present system of inventions. But its like, the way that system is progressing is neverending.

Like we dont need more elements to build that tower. We just need very simple shapes and ways to compliment it towards simplicity, like, but i dont know the details of it, so im just calling it The Antikythera of K'nex
