Philosophy

Designers are philosophers. They are, kinda.

One of the most known lifestyle-philosophies is the question: “Is the glass half-full or half-empty?”

It is an early monday morning I realize that this has nothing to do with the frame of mind a person is in, but more a practical approach is needed to determine this fact.

If the glass used to be full, but 50% of the liquid it contained has been consumed, the glass is half-empty.

If the glass used to be empty, but a liquid has been poured into the glass to fill 50% of its volume, the glass is half-full.

It’s just that simple… I guess that’s also the philosophy of design; if you go at it from an analytic angle, it’s just that simple.

(And if I just made some lifestyle-coaches realize their routine is a pure fad, I’ve accomplished something today too).
