I didn’t post today, Scott. Guess which mammal I am.

Working on it tomorrow, hopefully.

Though this is not a deeply thought out post, I’m trying to preside over a polygamous marriage between quotes by R. Buckminister Fuller, Viktor Frankl, and the idea of pattern languages, to create a new way of expressing the idea of a Declaration of Interdependence. 

— R. Buckminister Fuller: “A designer is an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist, and evolutionary strategist.”

— Wikipedia: A pattern language is a “method of describing good design practices within a field of expertise that ordinary people can use to successfully solve very large, complex design problems.”

— Viktor E. Frankl: “Man’s search for meaning is a primary force in his life and is unique and specific in that it must and can be fulfilled by him alone.”

— Declaration of Interdependence: A crowd designed pattern language that ordinary people can use to successfully connect the meaning in their lives to the massive, complex world of humanity around them.

Though I know a marriage of this sort is very likely illegal under the laws of the truly profound and puffy thinkers, there is some overlap there that I hope to tease out in the near future.
