A desire to have other conversations than

• saying what is bad about a thing
• saying how a thing makes me feel

I carry around this image of a monkey responding to stimuli, and I am sick of it. Having studied graphic design also meant having studied marketing, and psychology of perception.

But it also meant having studied media, and science of communication, too.

Starting a new kind of conversation today. I refuse to name it, I refuse to describe it. I refuse to use these same two modes of conversation I mentioned, because I donʼt think they are conversations at all (may Schulz von Thunʼs students and the other adherents to other simplifications forgive me, I canʼt believe that a model always applies).

I expect to get myself into immense trouble.
