"Design thinking should become synonymous with network thinking. This is the only way for us to fully understand repercussions, to design more consciously and sustainably, and to have a long-lasting, positive impact on our planet." @mslima @DesignObserver

"Why do we recurrently fall into this moral trap, this moral disengagement, where we really don't seem to care about the negative impact we're having? That was for me a burning question."

1/My interview with Manuel Lima @mslima about his book, The New Designer: Rejecting Myths, Embracing Change, is now posted. The choices made by designers have a significant impact on the world, yet many of them focus more on the aesthetics than the ethics.-

Human-centered design is an anthropocentric, hierarchical view of the world that led to many unintended consequences, including seeing nature as a resource to be exploited and humans as the most important element of our environment.

Caught an incredible talk by @mslima at #isvis2023 today. His perspective on how viewing people as data points can erode their humanity and lead to desensitization is spot on. Empathy over numbers.
