Foster... The only one even remotely aware of scalegrowth is Morven, and nanotech medical care has evolved so far that its essentially considered to be perfect. The only ones who would even care about medical care of a nature not based on nanites would be extremely eccentric historians. Its similar in many ways to how many practice the arts of making flint tools in our society.

Flint tools are awesome, although I've read some good things about obsidian when it doesn't shatter on impact.

Yeah, it's going to take a few chapters for my character to find out about Morven. But more correctly, my character still [s]strongly[/s] [i]annoyingly[/I] suggests quarantine-procedures after landing-ops. Kinda like how 'Bones' is against teleporters spreading him all over the galaxy.

And the fear of tech isn't going to be from lack of understanding it, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EpreukySEQ]but more from a decent to scary grasp of what can go wrong.[/url]
-Granted, very, very small chance of something bad happening, ever... but, it may still happen.

So, pretty much to the same level of paranoia as those who said the LHC was going to end the universe.

[quote]Cooking, on the other hand, that can actually make sense to have someone on board with skill at. No matter how you can make a gray gooey paste (or stuff like that) provide the nutrients needed, we can't readily see a day when humans wouldn't enjoy "real" food.[/quote]
Yeah... the pool to select decent primitive-style cooks was limited to super-eccentric historians and super-eccentric eco-terrorists.

You get both.
