LINEARITY CREATES FRUSTRATION

Week 8. Checking out Eddo Frog’s blog post on the lecture.

Brief. But nice. Concise.

“Linearity creates frustration” – This is true. We don’t think in a linear manner. There is far more randomness in thinking than there is linearity. Pretending we think in a linear way is pointless. Creating technology around linear thinking is useless. Linearity imposed upon us in the wrong situations can thus be incredibly constraining and frustrating. We think in fragments that build upon each other. We think in impulses. Physically and conceptually. Conceptually, some impulses fade and disappear almost immediately. Others remain and branch out and build upon one another. This is how I visualise thinking, anyway. Like a neural network.

Last week’s blog post about someone else’s blog post also discusses this.

I wrote a blog post a while back about this as well. Please go check this one out. IT HAS IDEAS AND THINGS IN IT. PLZ. IT’S ABOUT TECHNOLOGY AND STUFF. AND HOW WE THINK. IT’S CALLED THINKING SPACE.
