Manufacturing future liberties

In any endeavor (software development, politics, philosophy, home economics, love, etc.) when we have momentarily spare resources we should spend them to sharpen our tools — our basis set — to be better prepared for the next challenge. There are better and worse ways to prepare but to select the better ones it takes forms of practice that yield skills, experience, and resources. It requires, in other words, an aesthetic judgement combined with skilled practice. So there is, by definition, a craft to it. A basis craft: the practice of being ready to improve things.

Basiscraft is the exercise of manufacturing future liberties.
