Can limitations make you more creative? A Q&A with artist Phil Hansen
Phil Hansen has tattooed bananas, drawn a portrait on stacked Starbucks cups and created a Jimi Hendrix portrait out of matches, which he then burned. In other words, he isn’t the kind of artist who feels bound to paint on canvas. 713 more words และ 1 ความเห็น

Cities without highways: A Q&A with TED Books essayist Diana Lind

I personally love the idea of freedom of the individual, but in reality, we see it creates a ton of problems when it is not tempered with social responsibility. To assume freedom is a right is to assume people are rational and things will just work out in the end regardless of who we trample in our pursuit of freedom and happiness. Personally I don’t buy it, and I think restraint is needed, and it won’t always come from within a person, sometimes it will be exerted by others, or sometimes it will just be exerted by nature.

I also don’t think “High density compounds” as you call it will function without the consent of the majority of people nor do I think living in the city will ever be a requirement. If we ever get some crazy radical who actually wants to force people into something, you better believe I’ll be opposing it as well, but for now, try to look at it not from a viewpoint of fear. I sense that you see this as a loss of control and liberty, when instead it is simply a new idea aimed at managing our 7 billion + human population so that our future generations don’t have to deal with a completely destroyed world. We are at a point in our civilization where the individual’s perceived rights can be very counter intuitive and in fact down right destructive when looked at from a larger perspective. (and trust me, we need to all look at things at a larger perspective. Even though it can be down right depressing at times to see things how they truly are, it is necessary to be honest with how things work on a macro scale, rather than at an micro scale. The self has many desires, but the self must recognize the whole picture and truly empathize with the reality and gravity of the situation when the self is placed in front of the whole.)
