sustainability must be the core of life

There become times when you must weigh options
you cannot please everyone vs. you can feed the entire world
personal desire vs. impact
system growth vs. system sustainability

There is a false trust in our actions lack of consequence. Understanding freedom is accepting the responsibility of ones actions. This idea of freedom seems to be understood from solely a personal level, never accepting the idea that our individual choices, expressions of freedom through action, are responsible for others access to freedom. This responsibility must be built into an understanding of freedom, as freedom widely accepted as an ideal.

sustainability must be the center of our systems values. Systems do not work if they are not sustained, this must be an understanding we have.

There is not one conversation we can have we must have many

We can also apply the idea of supply and demand to the workforce; if we strictly use a view based on economic growth. Too many employees means too many answers, why not solve them all around a central goal?

a news paper sorts the information you need in front of you. a news paper is good. a news paper can be good i should say. how do we, as designers, push not our own but a general narrative through our work (WORK AGAINST THE ALGORITHM)

Science, and therefor everything, cannot act in the service of anything other than itself. science is not flawed because of this it must be viewed objectively https://www-jstor-org.proxy.library.vcu.edu/stable/44282614?sid=primo&seq=2#metadata_info_tab_contents
