“Pathological altruism” can be soul crushing. #ithappenedtome From @elizejackson@twitter.com “We need to be able to interrogate that which appears to be wholesome.” Empathizers ≠ Saviors. Will you will do more harm than good? @ixdconf@twitter.com #IxD19 #IxDConf #DesignInTheWild #Interaction19

In the opening talk, Bill Buxton coins the term "placeona". Think persona but for places.

Things to consider:
