“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift

  • I feel like this video has somewhat interesting bits sprinkled within, but for the most part, it sets up a problem most people already recognize, never actually explores why it happens (besides vaguely “money”, which I think anyone could guess), and then interviews Don Norman to give the most obvious “no shit” and high-level explanation for creating intuitive designs. We also get the solution to the door problem – which is also trivially obvious.

    Vox imo is usually good and in-depth (at least their written work is), so while inoffensive, this really surprised me.
