Quote of the day
Hansson’s view of freedom is seemingly based on a somewhat European, Design-led, view of the world. [on reflection that may just be my philosophical roots showing - Asian thinking also tends to be fairly comfortable with constraints.] Markets, for example, are not absences of rules. On the contrary a market is impossible without clear rules of engagement. A market is a set of constraints. Constraints are thus not a bad thing- they foster creativity. Even the hideousness that is digital rights management can foster creativity…
James Governor writing about DHH’s rather disparaging remarks on Windows programmers.
Which doesn’t interest me nearly as much as the often neglected notion that placing limits on choices can lead to better choices, and I suppose the million-dollar question is, who should make these decisions in business / marketplace. The producer, in his infallible wisdom? The consumer, ever so reluctant to give up his freedom these days?
