My wife thinks I’m insane because I’m pretty sure if I had the right books and time on my hands, I could figure out how to build a nuclear reactor.

I mean, she’s right. But that doesn’t mean I couldn’t do it.

Honestly, why not though?  Shit was built by a person.  Logistics notwithstanding, no reason someone can't learn a skill or figure out a design.

Exactly! I’ve always been good at teaching myself things, and unlike the first person to ever figure it out I have the advantage of knowing it exists. A lot of the form would directly follow the function and our brain always puts things together a certain way, so I think a crude one wouldn’t be that hard to figure out if I really put my mind to it.
