      If we'd dedicate all the effort we put into creating needless needs or feeding our egos into solving real problems, things would change fast

      .@edokoa real problem solving is hard. what happens in the design world right now is mostly first world cock stroking. it's disgusting.

      @owzim it's so ridiculous I decided to step down of the design world for a while and rethink where all of this is going.

      @owzim what I'm trying to say is: we're more people. Maybe we should think about gathering and look for solutions / share thoughts.

      @edokoa at least it's happening already in the privacy/own your data world.

      @owzim Yes. I had this conversation with @michielbdejong the other day. The problem with those projects is often that design is not involved

          @aral @owzim @michielbdejong my concern is also with the purpose of the products themselves. How do they improve people's lives.
