Open Thinking

Thinking that challenges or sidesteps the common model of modern society, about open culture, permaculture, alternate lifestyles or whatever. I might agree with some of it and disagree with the other, but one thing I agree with is that there should be more space in our societies for alternate choices, be they nomadic or economic or whatever, whether we understand them or not.

“But we disguised that. We designed a way for you to sip your starbucks and listen to Vivaldi sitting on top of this continuous explosion. And more than any other design, this design of the car reshaped our cities and changed the world. Everywhere, we designed our cities for cars. Even places in the world where the people are dead set against the American values of liberal democracy, they embrace traffic. Traffic is the lingua franca of the 20th century.”
