I, for one, would appreciate a few more rants. Maybe it’s the misanthrope in me. I’d be interested if you feel this safe approach of the masses is the same in Norway or the Scandinavian counties versus North America.
I think the lack of design education or at least design literacy in North America would have some effect on the average consumer’s approach to… consuming. But maybe I’m full of shit.
Naaaaw ... I'm trying to cut down on the ranting and raving. Writing these blogposts have made me realize that I have a natural tendency to rant, bitch and moan, being snide and scathing, becoming seduced by my own facility with words. While that might provoke an increase in readership, it's not something I want to indulge in -- it's not the best part of me.
I have come to realize how little I actually understand about the world and what goes on in it, and that it would be wise and becoming to limit myself to the few things I actually know something about; like straightening plywood edges etc. If I can write clearly and well about my own trade, so other woodworkers can benefit, that's more than good enough for me.
The interwebz are full of people running their mouths for attention and profit -- I don't want to be one of them. ('tho I can't promise there will be no further rants; the world is an infuriating place and it can be very, very hard to keep ones mouth shut!)

Makes sense to pursue what you know to be good for you. And the area in which you’re comfortable being a subject matter expert.
Avoiding snide and scathing is always a good plan too!
