Design ideas for a better world.

Why efficiency is the basis of synergy

Why efficiency is the basis of synergy

In the definition I propose of a synergetic design, 7 criteria are retained: efficiency, accessibility, transparency, predictability, simplicity, reversibility and contentment. These criteria have been named in this way in order to make it easy for the greatest number of people to understand the axioms…

The future will be community-based

The future will be community-based

The need to belong is thwarting the globalist agenda. A little observation is enough to realize that many people, after a flashy start of the Internet and the "incredible luck" of being able to connect to the whole world, are starting to have reflexes of…

When debating is useless

When debating is useless

For years (about 15 years) I have been interested in possible solutions to a more synergetic civilization. I study them, I criticize them, I improve them, I popularize them, I share them. Sometimes I invent some stuff too. I debated a bit at the beginning,…

On the irrelevance of software

Among the most time, energy, skill and concentration consuming activities is software development. Of course, commercial principles are at the origin of most of the immeasurable waste that is the world of computer software creation. Let's try to draw clear lines here about what is…

The art of creating shitty design

The art of creating shitty design

The last time I had this feeling was when trying to use a brand-new washing machine at someone else’s place. Like many people, I only use washing machines for a few functions, usually the 3 main temperatures (30, 60, and 90 °C, or about 90, 130,…

Organic design vs aseptic design: The Hobbit vs Star Wars

What brought me to this subject was not so much an observation of human activities in this field, but rather my simple appreciation of the constructions and designs of certain universes, imaginary or not. When one approaches the subject of synergetic design, one of the…

How to use rain water

Abundant water everywhere Places on Earth without water are very rare, and even when rainfall is considered low, it is still more than enough for our lives. Let's take as a low average a precipitation of 1000 mm per year (1 m, or 3.28 feet).
