Think Of The Design Process As Involving

The Proper Study Of Mankind Is The Science Of Design.

Solving A Problem Simply Means Representing It So As To Make The Solution Transparent.

The Simplest Scheme Of Evolution Is One That Depends On Two Processes; A Generator And A Test. The Task Of The Generator Is To Produce Variety, New Forms That Have Not Existed Previously, Whereas The Task Of The Test Is To Cull Out The Newly Generated Forms So That Only Those That Are Well Fitted To The Environment Will Survive.

Assuming That A Tax Increase Is Necessary, It Is Clearly Preferable To Impose The Additional Cost On Land By Increasing The Land Tax, Rather Than To Increase The Wage Tax - The Two Alternatives Open To The City (of Pittsburgh). It Is The Use And Occupancy Of Property That Creates The Need For The Municipal Services That Appear As The Largest Item In The Budget - Fire And Police Protection, Waste Removal, And Public Works. The Average Increase In Tax Bills Of City Residents Will Be About Twice As Great With Wage Tax Increase Than With A Land Tax Increase.

The Social Sciences, I Thought, Needed The Same Kind Of Rigor And The Same Mathematical Underpinnings That Had Made The 'hard' Sciences So Brilliantly Successful.
