I used to lament that things were so poorly designed. (I have the eyeβI can't not see it. It's a gift and a curse.) But then I realized that it's much more accurate to say that most things weren't designed at all.
Even your computer, and software you use every day, that had dozens of designers supposedly working on it. Sure, some *elements* of the app were designed. But on every level of abstraction, nondesign crept in with hundreds of unquestioned assumptions. https://t.co/s8a99wzFG5
As Jonny points out, it's unworkable to question the assumptions 1-by-1, conceptually, with logic & left-hemisphere. π€πβ But you *can* question many assumptions on many levels all at once, perceptually, with metaphor & right-hemisphere. π€―π€©π§ββοΈ https://t.co/h51zO7D1w4
For more on what I mean by that, check out my writing on Metaphor Design: https://t.co/DGd10gospp
Ahhhhh this is a very good article that resets your impressions for how awesome things can be and in the process highlights how little is getting designed under ordinary circumstances. https://t.co/bHC68QNFhl

If you wanna join the hemisphere-pilled, here's the rabbit hole: π³οΈπ It's good shitβnot the old backwards 1960s theory from Gazzaniga (which he himself has renounced)βand it explains a ton about cognition, perception, relation, design. https://t.co/qiDmn1xQ0M
