"crises" are also abstract and de-motivating. We can go further. "Opportunity and hope" follow when we connect with real-world projects, happening now, that are the seeds of the replacement system we yearn for

Do design research and data have to always fight for dominance in how we consider services or is there a way they can work together? That's the question I asked in this blog post buff.ly/2TMEtMn

Another political heavyweight describes Green votes as 'cultural' rather than 'economic'. Pundits, get a life: the money economy is a sub-set of the living world, not the other way round.

bioregional design will never be uniformly global: each place lives at its own unique tempo. At #LumaArles, Bernard Picon reminded us that human impacts on the Camargue, since the 12th century, are a mere blink of the eye compared to the effects of geological forces

Imagine a "Humane" regenerative attention economy where our devices aren't about screen time at all, but more like a GPS-- always routing us towards more life, more connection, more common ground. The point of a GPS isn't to keep us fiddling, it's to get us to our destination.

Theresa May reiterated her ultimatum to MPs this morning: my deal, no deal or no Brexit. Now a new YouGov MRP model has put that same dilemma to the public. On first preference, Remain wins in 600 constituencies… yougov.co.uk/topics/politics…

I’m still not over the fact that I get to (serious) play with Lego as a grown up at @transformUK. Yesterday was spent considering how we might build the #cityoftomorrow with some very smart people @Ford and @WIREDInsider, some classic bricks and a whole load of wheels!
