my short statements are a proof that important ideas can be shared with limited resources.
insisting on long texts is a strategy to maintain power and exclude others from the dialogue.
most people do not have the resources to read long texts. and it is not necessary. almost nothing is lost by using fewer words.
the most honest definition of design is that it connects ontologies, knowledge systems, POVs, cultures.
design makes one knowledge system valuable within another.
therefore it is in constant conflict.
to be good at design means to be good at conflict while maintaining honesty.
because without honesty there is no knowledge.
meta removing linking is a symptom of us forgetting why internet was made and what it should be.
we did not create internet so only a few companies can own few closed apps with extremely limited features and price hikes.
philosophy can be exercised by anyone in any text format.
today it makes more sense to share short statements online than to write long academic texts very few can access.
philosophy is a personal exploration everyone should do, just like art and sport, and not an exclusive occupation reserved for the few.
there is less and less design influence in all aspects of society.
templates, automations, and superficial methodologies have been used as an excuse to remove the voice of customers represented by designers.
a society cannot be truly democratic unless its companies operate as open, democratic systems.
for businesses to be democratic, they need to be transparent and open to customer influence beyond outdated buy-or-don’t-buy interactions.
Truth is again in fashion.
Strategies in politics and business that were based on lack of truth will be losing.
it is said that hotels are designed in an international style because it is a style most suitable for all.
it is also possible that hotels were designed like that simply because the designers (decision makers) had no style, and the story of the international style was invented later to cover their lack of design.
we will never know.
