Principles
Here's the lens through which I see the world and design products:
All problems are soluble
As long as they adhere to the laws of nature. Humans have the ability to use criticism and creativity to create new knowledge and solve problems.
We're fallible
Not knowing 100% gives space for new knowledge. Allowing a fraction of an error in our beliefs, let us challenge old ideas and make progress.
Genius together
Communal genius is bigger than individual genius. The wealthiest places are those that are part of an infinite landscape of interconnected ideas.
First-principles thinking
It’s turtles all the way down. It’s also important to know which problem in the infinite sequence of problems you’re solving.
Care like a gardener
The true gardener is the constant gardener; one who cares cultivates, and risks, yet, gives more to his soil than what he takes. So it is with design.
