Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what John Zeratsky said
design How things should be made and judged: what makes a design good, who should do the designing, and what an interface is for.
I wish the polarity of “rational” and “irrational” were flipped, because what we call irrational is actually the normal human approach to things. “Rational” is an invention — it’s a mode we can switch into, but it’s not where we spend most of our time. By framing “irrational” as a negative, people think of it as an exception; a problem to be fixed. In reality, it’s normal. We should be clear about it, and design our systems and our products to acknowledge that.
