All,
We're fighting the same battles, are we not? Aside from our own
(arguably petty) personal concerns and careers, the real point is that
more people become savvy about the effects of space on social outcomes
and use this knowledge to build more intelligent and humane
environments.
In this sense the more readers we have, the better.
Just for fun I did a Google Fight between "McDonalds" and "Conran".
McDonalds beat the stuffing out of Conran (2.23 million hits vs. 961,000
hits). Does this mean that McDonalds makes better food?
The point is that we're all doing good research on this list and the
more efforts the better. No one cracked the humane genome by
themselves. We're certainly not going to deal with the problems of the
21st century city on our own, either. So lets not waste breath on
skirmishes when there are more important battles to be fought.
Best,
Noah
PS - Two more Google Fights. One for the curious:
