“Every forest is a hyperobject, an enormously complex environment that’s shaped not just by its location, landscape, and climate but also by the history of humans in that place… what you see in the woods depends on the eyes that you are see it through.” — Deb Chachra, “How Infrastructure Works: Inside the Systems That Shape Our World”
When I look at the hospital system, from yesterday’s post, I see the hospital system through the lens of someone that helps business optimize their customer experiences for maximum success and revenue potential. I don’t see the system as a system administrator.
When I see the forest system, I see it through the eyes of someone fascinated by how things interact with other things.
When I think of humans, I think of humans through the eye of someone that’s still figuring out what it means to be his own human….
I suppose everything is a matter of perspective.
