christianity demands a total transformation of oneself called metanoia.

metanoia (μετάνοια) originates from the koine greek words meta (μετά), meaning after, and nous (νοῦς), meaning mind.

metanoia is what awaits us after we change our minds, our intellect, and our understanding of the world.

nous is a koine greek philosophical term describing a main component of human consciousness, alongside logos (λόγος), meaning reason, and psihi (ψυχή), meaning soul.

over time, metanoia has been reduced to repentance alone, a lesser goal. it is easier to ask for repentance than for total transformation.

if you did not know this, you are, unfortunately, not a true christian.

all it took to learn this was to ask chatgpt. or, if you are lucky, you can learn it from the right priest. it would be very hard to learn it by reading books.

“open” is used wrongly to describe solutions that are actually democratic, like open source, open innovation, and open data.

for some reason, a long time ago, it wasn’t cool to call business solutions democratic.

the problem with “open” is that dictatorships can use it too.

the future we do not deserve is a future of a few companies that pretend to offer variety by producing millions of products that they all own—companies that cannot have a dialogue with customers because they are afraid of questions.

the future we deserve is a future of millions of smaller, independent local companies working together with their customers to make products that everyone in the world truly enjoys.

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.
