Everything in the world is designed.

Someone, somewhere, shaped every aspect of the created world. Sometimes they did so with, and other times without, conscious intention. Either way, as a result of what they did, we have road signs, string quartets, antacids, pot plants, Sauvignon Blanc, ethics committees, The Lord of the Flies, touch screens, woven rugs, French horns, kettles, The Renaissance, mechanical diggers, languages, tugboats, HR, plumbing, geopolitics and biscuits.

Here I try to think carefully about how things get designed. We need to think carefully, because, in the end, our ideas make the world.
