The title is a bit over dramatic but, per the title, if you could contribute with one piece of knowledge to a book that every single individual should learn from in order to kickstart a civilization, what would be yours?

My personal choice would be the process of soap making, from scratch.

All the physics and metallurgy things. I am also slowly acquiring skills in construction and farming.

Don't forget beer making! I understand enough about distillation to probably make liquor without killing people.

You don't need distillation to make beer though, do you?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Nope. Just fermentation.

Sorry that was unclear. I can make beer and I bet I can make liquor too.
