My Principles
- “Discover your affordances” — people should be aware of their affordances
- first question: which people?
- should this fractalize outward to all people?
- Risk-takers (adventurers) should be empowered and supported
- biscuit-seekers
Other people’s principles
- Kids should be in control of their time
- Larry Tester:
- Bret Victor: “Creators Need An Immediate Connection To What They’re Creating.” (see Inventing on Principle)
- “ideas are very important to me”
- “bringing ideas into the world is one of the most important things people do”
- “great ideas, in the form of art stories, inventions, scientific theories… take on lives of their own, which give meaning to our lives”
- “so I think a lot about how people create ideas and how ideas grow”
- “and what sorts of tools create a health environment for ideas to grow.”
- “and I’ve spent a lot of time over the years making creative tools, using creative tools, thinking a lot.”
