“At some point, especially in the upcoming era of AI, designers will have to operate at much deeper levels, beyond the aesthetic and technical skills that AI will soon match or surpass.” — Alen Puaca https://t.co/YoLf4LaldS

At the foundation of your experience lie two fundamental modes of knowing that shape how you engage with reality.
The first one is Participatory Knowing.
This is how you "know" through your deep engagement with the world.
It’s not just thinking—it’s knowing by being an integral part of the patterns and principles of reality.
A skilled musician (for instance) does not merely know music theoretically but participates in it—embodying its flow.
The second mode of knowing is…
“Double Helix Design Patterns is not a method but observational framework of how decision making agents in reality function. Double Helix represent in a way a tightly coupled agent and its environment, connected by care for mutual existence.” https://t.co/72u8SpnKHm
“One can not assume identity is isolation. Assuming one’s identity needs to satisfy two conditions: that a person identifies as such, but also that their social context recognize and acknowledge that identity.” https://t.co/uQnHIQ8gLT
“Curiosity in understanding and using these cognitive fractal patterns Levin talks about should hopefully be one of the first steps in maturation of the 21st century designers.” — Alen Puaca https://t.co/LnMlhjMd1m
