Prior to embarking on this project, I had a set of beliefs that I knew were the pillars of what I wanted to eventually undertake.
01. 'THE GAP'.
We know how we started and where we are now, but thousands of years of advanced, valuable iteration is neglected by the way we learn. By not knowing how we got here, we lose valuable truths, and are doomed to repeat avoidable mistakes.
02. ENVIRONMENTAL LOGIC IS INTUITIVE.
A child could do it, and children did do it. We’ve just unlearned it. All you need is your body.
03. WE HAVE NO SENSE OF SCALE.
Or time, or duration, or distance. We imagine and feel these things through tools and screens, forgetting their context.
04. ORIENTATION IS EVERYTHING.
All that you learn and will produce in your life relies on how you know what time it is, and where you are in the world. Everything.
05. KNOWLEDGE IS DISAPPEARING.
More knowledge is completely lost than we could ever fathom. It is being rewritten and skewed at a terrifying, accelerating rate.
06. IF IT IS NOT MADE COMPUTATIONALLY LEGIBLE, IT WILL DISAPPEAR.
07. WE DESIGN TOOLS THAT FLATTEN AND ERASE.
There is a way to be efficient, and advanced, without historical amnesia. We can cultivate the field without clearing it.
08. WE SET OUR OWN TRAPS.
The tools we design have invisible constraints which we mistake for reality, and the phenomena that inspired their framework are forced into an artificial symmetry. That artificial symmetry becomes our reality that we continue to build on.
