New books on the reading list:
"Design/Ecology/Politics: Toward the Ecocene" - by @Ecocene: https://ecocene.wordpress.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Design-Ecology-Politics-Towards-Ecocene/dp/1472588606/ #ClimateChange
The Handbook of Design for Sustainability - by Stuart Walker et.al:

Tony Fry: Futuring, the City & Sustainment - the Remaking of Design
Lessons:
- Convert cultural to economic capital
- Shift from a quantitative-based to a qualitative-based economy.
- Lead not follow: export the future, not import it.
- Move/protect the culture with a vision
Prediction: Coming soon to Google & Amazon Assistance: "Emotional Care": The AI constantly checks the emotional state of the people in the room (couples/families) & gives vocal warnings if the mood goes "bad". People will love it. I find this vision deeply troubling.
Dream Lens: "Exploration and Visualization of Large-Scale Generative Design Datasets" - by Autodesk Research: https://www.autodeskresearch.com/publications/dreamlens
Generative design browsers are a key (missing) component for making generative processes go mainstream. The "Dream Lens" browser combines many relevant ideas, applicable to generative design tasks in other creative disciplines as well.

Designers who work towards meaningful interactions and time well spent have tough questions to face: What is a good use of the users’ time? Why don’t users already interact meaningfully?”These are questions about human agency and dignity. Unless we tread carefully, we’ll be ensnared (or “hooked”) by a dangerous way of thinking.
