I rarely find articles discussing the state of design, and even fewer articles do it well enough to consider them seriously. But the report from Float really hooked me with some of the threads pointing to existential issues for the industry that just can't be ignored. In many ways, some of the issues (especially the ones brought up in thread two) are relevant not only to the design field but to content in general.

The report has many downsides as well - from populism among the designers' ideas on cultural tyranny to climate change alarmism. I'd personally say that threads one and four seemed ultimately weak - the first feels naive, in many ways outdated and simply not relevant with issues brought up in the latter chapters, while the fourth is just majorly under-researched, making the whole thread a giant speculation.
