The ‘war on drugs’ is essentially a horrifically violent game of whack-a-mole.
(via Sabotage Times)Almost everyone walks. In this ubiquity, paradoxically, lies a weakness: The very act is so common that we tend to forget about it, to remember that it is something that needs to be nurtured, protected, encouraged.

Info
- SummaryMy mind is somewhere between the worlds of philosophy and design.
I’m totally preoccupied by the questions that make life uncomfortable, and drawn to simple answers that bring an innovative comfort back into our world.
Re-imagining things almost always requires visual thinking and messy making. Without both tools, I’d be lost as I search for the toughest questions and the coolest answers.Experience- Oct 2009 - PresentStrategist / Leo Burnettbig things for homes, invisible things for digital devices, things to help people get away from it all (and other things to help think a bit differently)
