HOW DO YOU SOLVE MY BACK ACHE?
COLLAPSE
“We still have not seen much movement on... the deep systemic issues that cause the current cluster of crisis symptoms to be reproduced time and again. I believe that the most important root issue of the current crisis is our thinking: how we collectively think.”

“There can be no scientific study of society, either in its conditions or its movements, if it is separated into portions, and its divisions are studied apart.”
COMTE
ACHILLES: I WILL BE GLAD TO INDULGE BOTH OF YOU, IF YOU WILL FIRST OBLIGE ME, BY TELLING ME THE MEANING OF THESE STRANGE EXPRESSIONS, “HOLISM” AND “REDUCTIONISM”.
CRAB: HOLISM IS THE MOST NATURAL THING IN THE WORLD TO GRASP. IT’S SIMPLY THE BELIEF THAT “THE WHOLE IS GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS”. NO ONE IN HIS RIGHT MIND COULD REJECT HOLISM.
ANTEATER: REDUCTIONISM IS THE MOST NATURAL THING IN THE WORLD TO GRASP. IT’S SIMPLY THE BELIEF THAT “A WHOLE CAN BE UNDERSTOOD COMPLETELY IF YOU UNDERSTAND ITS PARTS, AND THE NATURE OF THEIR ‘SUM’”. NO ONE IN HER LEFT BRAIN COULD REJECT REDUCTIONISM

Computers are not designed for
creativity. They are there for productivity.
Non-techies are not buying or using computers as much as they should.
Productivity is the key benefit of
machinery which helps us be more
productive cogs in the machine.
Computers can be a force for amazing
creativity if designed for beauty, usability and
playfulness.
Think different with an Mac.
We are all artists; we are here to
express not possess.
