I cannot recommend this book enough, it was so eye opening to perceive the world as a collection of choices made by designers across time. And with their creations they have set in stone their ideologies and vision. The Politics of Design by Ruben Pater
idk if we're doing Kindness Weekโit seems like itโso I'm reccing this book which validated and rewired the way I see the world. It dismantles the assumptions people have about our base nature and helps you realize how many in power cherry pick data and tell a story that divides us by making us more fearful and distrustful of each other. if you don't know Rutger, he's the guy who told the billionaires at Davos they were immoral hoarders of wealth and then made Tucker Carlson crash out.
Itโs nice to see seemingly disconnected items orchestrate a bigger picture that seems cohesive from afar but expands to individual people, moments and places
