Currently re-reading Sherry Turkle's Alone Together—and honestly, it’s been a slightly unsettling read. 📖 The book delves into our evolving relationship with technology, particularly the rise of social robots designed to replace human connection. From robot dogs and Furbies to children’s companions and elder care, this rapid technological progression raises a critical question:

Are we forgetting that nothing can truly replace the presence and compassion of another human being?

One point that really struck me: 📱 “Studies show that if two people are having lunch, a cell phone at the table steers the conversation to lighter subjects, and each party feels less invested in the other. It’s not surprising. Each person in the conversation knows that with a phone on the landscape, you can be interrupted at any time.”

This resonates deeply. I already try to keep my phone out of sight during meaningful conversations, but seeing the science behind it reinforces how essential it is to be present.

Other powerful quotes from the book: 👉 “We seem determined to give human qualities to objects and content to treat each other as things.” 👉 “Technology makes us forget what we know about life.” 👉 “Where we examine the assumption that we are getting something important from these new technologies, we must ask whether a technology expands our capacities and possibilities or exploits our vulnerabilities?” 👉 “People are lonely. The network is seductive. But if we are always on, we may deny ourselves the rewards of solitude.”

As a designer, these insights are crucial. The projects I aim to be a part of are not just about bridging the gap between humans and the natural world—but also about bringing us closer to each other.

Turkle’s research is a powerful reminder to reflect on our relationship with technology and consider how we can shift toward more compassionate, human-centered designs. 🌿

“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.”

HEROES JOURNEY

We all want to be the best version of ourselves and really push the envelope. Deep down we all have this desire to shape the globe in a loving and peaceful way. It’s a struggle to walk this path but I guarantee you you’re not alone.

Joseph Campbell actually wrote a book on how that drive can be harnessed and used to benefit humanity called the Heroes Journey. I would like to share a brief excerpt with you guys that I have found to be of great value. This is actually the breakdown Amit Gaswami uses in one of his lectures but it still rings true just the same. Anyways, here it goes:

“Our hero suffers a separation from his world, sets out on his own to confront mysterious forces, finally returns in his glory, carrying with him to a magnificent reunion the knowledge that he has gained. Examples are king David, Prometheus and fire, Gautama Buddha and the eight fold path, Moses and the 10 Commandments.  

“Science follows this same course with the Cartesian separation of mind and matter. Descartes sets sail, Galileo- Darwin- Freud complete the separation of Church and Science. Newton, in spite of his personal beliefs, extended the laws of mechanics to the arena of living and consciousness. Sailers have followed this path for hundreds of years since. Then, Planck discovered the Quantum Heisenberg Principle, and Schrödinger discovered quantum mechanics forever altering the the old materialist,separatist course.”

The Hero returned. Scientifically speaking, this marks a paradigm shift where we can start viewing mythology- spiritual world views- in scientific terms. I’m doing so, we realize our mythology is actually the History of our conscious evolution. If you follow the old world scientific view of mind being a byproduct of matter then you’ll miss this hidden gem. You’ll miss the magick and that’s what life is at it’s core. A magical experience meant to be cherished and views with childlike awe.

We are those epic heroes and every trial is a test of our intentions, our endurance, our ability to love; they shape and define us for better or for worse. So enjoy the journey. Peace ✌️

We are stardust

The atoms in my body are ancient - old, like the stones of the world and the stars in the firmament

The atoms of our bodies were created in the Big Bang and in the stars. They have been travelling around the universe and the Earth for billions of years.

We have already been guests in plants and animals. And now they belong to us. Temporarily.

They connect to us for the time of our life and collapse into something else after our death.

I’ve been dipping in and out of this book for a while, and it’s been a mind-expanding read. So many ideas, thought experiments, and explorations. I wanted to share some quotes of interest here . As a ‘green’ designer, I believe it’s not just about how or what we make, but also knowing when not to make. I spent years as a collage artist, working with vintage materials and my own sources. While the process brought joy, the outcomes often became waste—projects now stored under my bed, unused. . Switching to research-based work gave me a new perspective. The ‘green’ design world often focuses on products; —bio-materials, waste-based objects, inventive artefacts. While beautiful and meaningful in this time of change, these objects don’t always address systemic issues. They spark conversation but rarely reduce the destruction caused by our current ways of living. . Ironically, many ‘green’ designs reinforce our capitalist obsession with owning. As this book reminds me, what we need isn’t more stuff, but more presence. To live in our world as humans in real time. . Jean Baudrillard expresses it perfectly: — “Our world may now seem senseless to many of us simply because it has become placeless.” — “The very definition of real has become: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction... the real is not only what can be reproduced but that which is always already reproduced: the hyperreal... which is entirely in simulation.” . We’ve evolved in nature but now live in tech-driven contexts. As Robert Ornstein and Paul Erlich (1989) observed: — “Humans still operate in the modern world with an ‘old’ brain genetically adapted to a largely natural physical context in which we evolved but no longer live.” . This resonates deeply: — “We are a culture so shaped by technology that any attempt to outwardly distinguish between our affection for nature and the earth and our dependent fascination with technology is likely to be impossible.” . All art and design are valid - But we need to challenge ourselves with tougher conversations about whether our creations are helping, or not.
