Every now and then life sold you an illusion of design. a coincidence, a parallel, a sledgehammer symbol. the goods were always faulty. you forked over the cash only to discover they'd fallen apart by the time you got home. but life kept at it. life couldn't help it. life was a compulsive salesman.

Every Now And Then Life Sold You

Glen Duncan
Every now and then life sold you an illusion of design. a coincidence, a parallel, a sledgehammer symbol. the goods were always faulty. you forked over the cash only to discover they'd fallen apart by the time you got home. but life kept at it. life couldn't help it. life was a compulsive salesman.

When we think of design, we usually imagine things that are chosen because they are designed. vases or comic books or architecture... it turns out, though, that most of what we make or design is actually aimed at a public that is there for something else. the design is important, but the design is not the point. call it "public design"... public design is for individuals who have to fill out our tax form, interact with our website or check into our hotel room despite the way it's designed, not because of it.
Book Thinking Design
Everything that comes together falls apart. everything. the chair i’m sitting on. it was built, and so it will fall apart. i’m gonna fall apart, probably before this chair. and you’re gonna fall apart. the cells and organs and systems that make you you—they came together, grew together, and so must fall apart. the buddha knew one thing science didn’t prove for millennia after his death: entropy increases. things fall apart.
Fall Cells Together
What is illusion? m.: to whom is the illusion? find it out. then illusion will vanish. generally people want to know about illusion and do not examine to whom it is. it is foolish. illusion is outside and unknown. but the seeker is considered to be known and is inside. find out what is immediate, intimate, instead of trying to find out what is distant and unknown.

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'
