I just wrote an article about transportation and how we could do things far better.
Don't hesitate to take a look at it and share your thoughts.

@leo Quick test in what you mean. Do you mean far better if they designed it better and wanted to or far better some other way. My initial reaction is 'of course... if they wanted to... but... they more often don't / chose accordingly for themselves (so it's a bit futile as their care is not there)... I may have this wrong but anyway it's also to check with you what you think.
@leo I categorise this sometimes as being naive or hopeful or "yes but they will not change like someone will not give up their power and give up their own job/government for everyone else's good'
I guess I like what you write inside a bubble and I'm seeking to get out of that *considering* "the will" of those will hardly change or like I say give up their power.. so working on how to eject forceful people is maybe a title outside of another "If only if they did this"... just speaking my mind... with will yes anything humanity can do or increment... but you have to assume there are determined bastards out there, constantly and asking for will is not the solution (they already chose 1000 times and don't want to share)... So nice article (if I read it and yes I might) but consider "bastard" problem more than a nice idea or "if only" the game is more weighted the other way and we see already they are willing to risk life over and over... even those in the middle, a lot are cowards or 100 things (xenophobes, inexperienced, intolerance, uncultured, number-minded,,, list goes on)... and add force or compliance or going for cheese (that is probably root problem, if cheese was more available / free then people could make a choice but money (for food) turns people / gives excuse not to work on the anything / give up / have no imagination...

You should read the article, I address some of these points. In addition, I consider that many people are just following what is going on, so it is not about "us versus everyone else" it is about fighting for power between active minorities. And locally, I can see some things that are truly changing for the best. Slowly yes, but when we are absolutely convinced by what we do, time doesn't matter.
@leo Alright you got me, I'll read it
@leo OK I read it - as I go along and re-read it now... and I will ask some things now also, (may answer my own questions and backwards to ask now but I'm motivated in either case...)
- who are you writing this for (target audience?)
- are you paid to write this?
- where or who does this proposal go to?
If you prefer DM me
thanks
@freeschool
I don't know exactly your intentions but it seems to me that you would like to have a bit of control over what I am doing through Synergetic Design and it is of course very unpleasant and inappropriate.
I am only here to share thoughts and ideas about design, nothing else, to possibly discuss the content of my work, but not how I do it, which is my own business.
@leo That's weak man because it's not my intention... so you're wrong already and probably should apologise (also to yourself)
What you can't see is probably what is useful to you later if you can get past the unwarrented feelings.
I think I had valid question who is this for?... and a bit of "is money involved here?"
So it's going negative way by not assuming I have good intentions or just minimising your feelings a bit more.
So away from the controlling aspect - I am asking about the writing. Can you answer some of these things - is it a proposal you are sure who it is to? (it's ok to admit it if there is pride or something happening)
@leo
HI - NO ANSWER YET ON THIS. THIS IS MAYBE 2ND REMINDER.
This post could be titled:
REMINDERS TO LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE THAT DON'T WORK FOR UNKNOWN REASONS
or
NICE PEOPLE THAT STOP TALKING
or
HIDDEN HUMAN STUFF
(THIS IS ALSO HELPING KILL COMMUNITY BUILDING)
As I don't forget and see this as a worldwide problem (seriously you're probably taking it personally but we have to solve this as always it comes to this).
This is exactly LIKE BigTech corporations etc so while I'm not accusing you of being bigtech the habits are very similar IN people who suddenly for unknown reasons (mostly emotional than logic or being clear) can't take a bit of simple asking or continuing what good we left off from! So in good or bad why this or that person stopped is important (even if you don't want to reply, just finish it off nicer than be silent as that won't work with me)
To be clear:
- the avoidance
- lack of clarity
- lack of feeling
- selective answering
...is basically bad practice in many ways. UNACCEPTABLE AS A MASS. So that's why I don't forget,
You have something good but can't interface - not sure why...why is that? (even if you don't want to share the good stuff about your own work you're promoting lol {shake head in amazement} !
Even before this you said you'd let me know about the next market happenings and didn't even get back to me on that when reminded. Now it's more.
Why introduce things and not follow up (even with more softer reminders and this as bigger example?)
@freeschool
I explain in the article that it can only come from a collective will to create a more synergetic transportation system. It can really be life-changing in a satisfying way. But it is not as profitable for big companies as the private car model and all the things that revolve around it. So it doesn't mean that it will be more profitable in a short term and in terms of money earned. It is better because it makes life better for most people in many ways.
