I changed the logo of my Synergetic Design page. I was not happy with the previous ones but now I am quite satisfied. I did it with #Inkscape.

New article about a #gardening model that I tested last year (synergy between plants & animals):

An interesting initiative about ancient tech and design:

https://paleo-energetique.org/en/

The aim is to dig in the past to sort out relevant solutions for today issues and concerns.

Some stories are really cool. Hopefully, some of them could end up in practical solutions for our everyday life.

Don't kill your neighbour (yet) - Analysis of an antagonistic phenomenon

https://synergeticdesign.substack.com/p/dont-kill-your-neighbour-yet

Here I talk about the binary mindset that is litterally destroying our societies.

No interesting design can come out of such a way of dealing with reality. That is why I shared my thoughts about it.

The widespread habit among scientists intervening in the media to think of the impact of human beings on the environment in terms of watts or pollution is fallacious. Only the estimation of the degree of synergy of human activities can give an intelligible indication of their possible consequences. However, this estimation is extremely difficult to achieve because it requires taking into account thousands of factors.

New article about data management, including proposals of no-data and vectorial data paradigms:

https://synergeticdesign.substack.com/p/data-minimalism-no-data-and-vectorial

Vectorial data management is a proposal to consider data as dynamical functions and not objects to ease our designs, works and reduce the data needed (like the vectorial vs raster approach in image management).

Here I extend my reflections about currencies and how to deal with inflation, market manipulation and large-scale trade:

https://synergeticdesign.substack.com/p/inflation-deflation-market-manipulation

In short:
- use of a "pure currency" (whose use does not influence its functioning) in our trusted networks (offline and online)
- capitalization by immediate value (seeds, animals, metals, material, etc.)
- use of barter in untrusted networks (including optional standards like gold or silver)

I go a step deeper in my reflections about the nature money in this article:

https://synergeticdesign.substack.com/p/reflections-on-the-nature-of-money

I think the notion of trust is misplaced in our current time about money. Maybe it is time to change our vision of the subject.

We often talk about #bigdata and what seems to be its opposite: #opendata. But both are not so far away from each other, because data in the hands of everyone doesn't mean that everything will magically go fine.

May I suggest something else: the #nodata approach. It's the simple choice of not gathering or using data at all. Not very trendy right? However, I think that a true form of freedom lies in it, something that cannot be obtain in any other way.

I am frankly puzzled by the recent choices made by many libre currency devs to keep going with the idea of a worldwide internet free of access.

Recent events have shown that we should on contrary focus on local and resilient solutions.

Libre currency in itself can work offline so why not push in that direction, I don't get it.

France is currently facing a shortage of medicines, like other countries. Amoxicillin is one of the most critical. It is time to think about alternative and autonomous solutions. A ton exist out there but let us be careful to prefer the ones we can produce, store and use by ourselves each time it is possible.

I propose some simple designs to improve a standard commonly used in industry for signifying the center of gravity of objects:
