It might be the most important question we can ask.
What is this project for?
What is the workshop for?
What is this debate for?
What is our persistence for?
What is this design for?
What is this job for?
What is the degree for?
What is this sign for?
What problem will it solve? Who does it serve? How does it make them feel? How does it make things better?
If we're honest, objective and care enough, we can probably make it better too. Choose wisely.
