“I am in total opposition to any institutional power. I favor a world of neighborhoods in which all social organization is voluntary and the ways of life are established in small, consenting groups. These groups could cooperate with other groups as they saw fit. But all cooperation would be on a voluntary basis.

“The system concedes nothing without demand, for it formulates its very method of operation on the basis that the ignorant will learn to know, the child will grow into an adult and therefore demands will begin to be made. It gears itself to resist demands in whatever way it sees fit.” KnowsWayChildrenMadeGrowsFitDemandAdultsBasesMethodIgnorantMade ItOperationsGears Author:Steven Biko

“I am a design chauvinist. I believe that good design is magical and not to be lightly tinkered with. The difference between a great design and a lousy one is in the meshing of the thousand details that either fit or don't, and the spirit of the passionate intellect that has tied them together, or tried. That's why programming - or buying software - on the basis of "lists of features" is a doomed and misguided effort. The features can be thrown together, as in a garbage can, or carefully laid together and interwoven in elegant unification, as in APL, or the Forth language, or the game of chess.” BelieveTogetherSpiritGamesLanguageI BelieveDifferencesEffortDesignFitThousandBasesPassionateDetailsIntellectListsChessFeaturesProgrammingBuyingThrownSoftwareTiedDoomedElegantGarbageMisguidedGood DesignUnificationGreat DesignGarbage Cans Author:Ted Nelson
