Incredible talk and quote(s)

[Gemma Drake @gemmadrake]

Listening to Lesley-Anne Noel speaking on ‘design for a world in crisis.’ How ‘Environmentalism did not exist before industrialisation’ - “ #sustainability in the west is framed as a view of the privileged” #RSD11 @mamaazure

[Gemma Drake @gemmadrake]

Chantal Spencer delivered a powerful talk 🔥 provoking us all to rethink and question ‘participatory design’ and minimising the burden of change from the shoulders of the oppressed #RSD11 #mobility #chronicillness @RSDSymposium

[Systemic Design Association | systemic.design @RSDSymposium]

Takeaways from this morning's session with Desmond Wong 'Boundary Critique: The work of Werner Ulrich'.
1. It's always about resources.
2. Practice critique-as-process.
3. Exclusion is often necessary; embrace conflict but keep firm boundaries.

But once this last pool of wealth--America's middle class-- has been siphoned dry, then who's left to stripmine and exploit? https://t.co/RNzaJRXJqP

What sort of future is this?

[NNorris @agencythoughts]

“[It] is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of modernity,” - Arturo Escobar

[Peter Jones PhD | SDA | FEI | WBW | Worldwide @redesign]

Here's the issue "Because the proliferation of values, identities, & ideologies that modernization brings simply can’t support the level of social solidarity or consensus that planning & coordination of infrastructure & development at national—much less global—scale requires."

[BrunoLatour @BrunoLatourAIME]

To witness rich boys using space travel for touristic amusement shows how much the modernist project of limitless expansion has come to a clownish end. Time to land. Don’t repeat history by farce; dream again, but interesting dreams.
