what i’m thinking about now
“You are terrified of your own children, since they are natives in a world where you will always be immigrants.”
from commanding heights
change is the only constant. the future won’t be a dystopia or a utopia, it’ll be both at once, like now. as belonging turns into nationalism, i keep asking where the human is. maybe we need humanity-centred design, not just human-centred.
“people divide roughly it seems to me, into two kinds or rather a continuum is stretched between two extremes. There are people people and things people.”
from commanding heights
we snap to the ends of the spectrum when most of us float in the middle. being a people person gets treated as the moral high ground, but the world runs on things people, and most idealists give in once things get attractive enough.
