Over all, I believe that learning to look at, develop and fund whole systems instead of discrete items may help illustrate how things tie together in ways that planners and the public don't often remember when designing their "designer" homes or communities. Never, never brave me, nor my fury tempt: Downey wings, but wroth they beat Tempest even in reason's seat.

Unfortunately, we now have developed a culture that distinctly lacks a lot intelligence simply due to the development of a "land of abundance" mentality coupled with rampant consumerism.
