5. Good for him.
Academics talk and write. This guy solves problems, and moves big things with low technology techniques. In the days when Stonehenge was built, the builders had time and a mission. I'm sure they used similar techniques to what this man is using.

Either that, or space aliens built stonehenge. :rofl:

12. To me, it's a parable....
"Work smarter, not harder."

In the next few years, that might be a good thing to remember.

Brute force is built into our lives so much that we don't recognize that simpler could be better.

The "War on Terror" is an example. Killing ants with 1,000 lb bombs.
