I've been reading a fascinating article on how the Green Revolution failed to improve on traditional methods of rice farming in Bali: https://www.damninteresting.com/the-ancient-order-of-bali/

It really drives home the lesson that cultural traditions can be stores of massively important institutional knowledge, not mere obstacles to be trampled in the name of technological progress. Just because it's a ritual doesn't mean it's 'just' ceremonial; there are real world impacts. #history #Bali #agriculture #lessons #discourse
