I gave up making choices. I've merely changed my responsibility from making choices to asking questions. It's not easy to ask questions.

When we design for fast consumption we also encourage dismissal. It’s easy to discard an idea when you feel that it’s been understood and used up in the moment.

Questions for Designers
How can I avoid, in my own work, participating in the acceleration of unsustainable, thin value?

“How does one produce meaningful work when there’s so much waste? I continue to struggle with this, big time. And I’m curious who else does. How do we, as an industry of creative professionals, reconcile the fact that so much of what we make is used to perpetuate the demands of a bloated marketplace? A monoculture?
These questions aren’t just for designers. I know that.”

Are we solving all the wrong problems?
A service that sends someone to fill your car with gas.
A service that sends a valet on a scooter to you, wherever you are, to park your car.
A service that will film anything you desire with a drone.A service that will pack your suitcase — virtually.
A service that delivers a new toothbrush head to your mailbox every three months.
A service that delivers your beer right to your door.An app that analyzes the quality of your French kissing.
A “smart” button and zipper that alerts you if your fly is down.
An app with speaker that plays music from within a mother’s vaginal walls to her unborn baby.
A sensor placed in your child’s diaper that sends you an alert when the diaper needs changing.
An app that lets us brew our coffee from anywhere.
A refrigerator advertised as “the Family Hub” that promises to act as a personal assistant, message board, stereo and photo album.
An app to locate rentable driveways for parking.
An app to locate rentable yachts.
An app to help you understand “cause and effect in your life.”
An app that guides mindful meditation.
An app that imparts wisdom.
And a new proposal to create an app designed to stop police killings.
From the brilliant article in the NYT by Allison Arieff.

Design may provide the map, but the moral compass that guides our personal choices resides permanently within us all.
