The Scientific Method is Bullshit, and Y’all Suck

TLDR: Not really. And No, you’re not. (You are all fine people.) It’s become fashionable to bash Design Thinking, maybe more so last year but it takes me a while to get around to articles like this one. Actually I

2019: The Year of Design Backlash

When it just seemed people were finally figuring out what Design means, we get the backlash. I had drafted a post responding to Design Thinking bashing (like this and this), and now Maeda reheats his annual report (if you can make it
