I think the natural progression for the ways we think start in a very abstract realm before making their way into fruition. The ‘idea’ is far-fetched, conceptual, and for the most part the bridge that will pragmatically fuse that great idea into a standard commodity is often only supplemented by the dream of the initial visionary. …But that visionary takes action, and slowly but surely extracts that which is conceptual and abstract, into that which is daily life. I am fascinated by the art of ‘vision.’ I love reading stories of things we take for granted like the telephone or the light bulb and how the inventors of such things had so much opposition in selling the functionality of ideas our society would one day be dependent on. I laugh at the things that may be under our noses right now, that we continue to ignore or remain unaware of, that will one day be things future societies are dependent on. In so many ways we trudge blindly into the future except for those few visionaries that light the way. So let’s celebrate the abstract, the wild, or the weird… for the Earth contains limitless possibilities and you can never know what new great ‘idea’ is going to sweep over the world.
I love what the team at ThePlastiki.com is doing. Here is a small group of people audaciously undertaking a massively abstract project that has vital importance to our world. I admire not only the vision but the proof that action causes vision to come to life. I think this project is something that will lay the groundwork for ideas that make us more aware of our actions in the wonderful world we live in.
