Even by design
summary
Argues design is whitewashed and offers concrete tools: a timed memory moodboarding exercise to collect lost influences, a Masters phone book to map harmful versus aspirational influences, a futures-prism method to write a personal manifesto, an archetypal randomizer for broader personas, and a tangible world builder (Figma/FigJam or physical space) that users control. Introduces deep consent rules (rolling consent, negotiable compensation, ongoing updates). A community Figma file already exists and is updated monthly; the exercises report creative recovery and clearer product direction.
