So that Primitive Technology guy on YouTube. He seems to have reached a point where he can make actual cement and mortar to go with the fired clay bricks he makes. Which is neat, given his only resources are Neolithic - Terra cotta, sand, gravel, rocks, wood, fire, water, and ashes.
I watched it and I think about those folks who live in Africa who have to deal with jiggers (burrowing parasitic fleas that can cripple you if not removed surgically) because they don’t have good shoes and they use dirt floors in their homes.
It seems to me like they could use those techniques to make terra cotta tiles and mortar for their floors, and not need foreign aid or even outside labour to do it. They’re as smart as anyone else, surely they could do it if a white Australian landscaper can do it. They shouldn’t have to deal with fleas burrowing in their flesh, they don’t deserve that.
