Big fan of this interview. For two reasons, there's a thread of thinking that is becoming more apparent to me about the need to draw a distinction between what is means to be human and what we become when we serve the system. L.M. provides good insights illuminating this line of thinking. I've come across the book "Against the Machine" by Paul Kingsnorth which seems to take a direct view of this issue. I'm looking forward to reading it. And number 2, I spent a lot of time at the Christian Study Center in college and it's good to see that its in good hands.
I loved this interview. The remarks about the Amish have begun to turn my thinking about them inside-out: I'm no longer looking at the Amish but looking through their community lens at the tools I use (and don't use). I also see more than ever the need for what Josiah Royce called communities of interpretation (he also coined the phrase "beloved community" to describe them) that process change together.

Great interview
Illich offered the roadmap to revolution, one institution at a time.
Really interesting. I will say I think Institutions seems to make more sense than tools but these are definitely some interesting thoughts!
