Questions are what bind us together in the Knowledge House. They provide spaces where we can share our observations, thoughts and experiences. Questions here have initially been generated by the [[Reinventing the Wheel]] series of talks. With time, some questions may seem to close around a shared answer, but this will only lead to another question. ### Questions %% DATAVIEW_PUBLISHER: start ```dataview list summary from #weft/question where contains(file.path,"Questions") ``` %% - [[Weft/Questions/Question - What is the role of the state in modern craft.md|Question - What is the role of the state in modern craft]]: Despite its association with folk culture, much modern craft is made possible by government.
