One enduring, if not eternal, answe...My Dear Boym, <br />One enduring, if not eternal, answer to your question, "Why Design Now?" is simply to take Clive Dilnot's insight in "Ethics/Disign?" to its logical or rather illogical conclusion—Design predicated on love. Design predicated on love, is first and foremost based not on the Socratic method, but on the ideas of another one of the ancients, Hippocrates, who instructed his students, "First do no harm." A Design predicated on love may be difficult since the only love most designers are acquainted with is self love, but if we could persuade these men and women to remember they are not their principle client, we can begin to move in the direction most beneficial to all.<br /><br />Good luck in your new adventure. As for "uncertainties," the world has never been calm, not for long, what has changed is our subjectivity, our insistence in placing ourselves in the path of the storm, instead of its rather it's relatively serene eye.RWordplayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13987980380490858573noreply@blogger.com
