The value in earth science is in the models of existing systems. The value in building, abstractions or buildings, is in the uniqueness.
Excerpt: “Manufacturing can’t operate on a filtering-based process that can be implemented via simple mechanisms. Building something involves putting a series of specific parts in specific places in a specific order. This is much harder to mechanize - at minimum it requires a separate movement (or series of movements) for each step in the process. And it almost always requires a large number of humans in place to handle movements that are too complex to mechanize (such as installing screws). Interestingly, this means manufacturing has been slower to mechanize than agriculture. Car manufacturing employment, for instance, nearly doubled in the US between 1940 and 1970, whereas in agriculture it dropped by more than half over the same period“
