I'd like to talk a little bit about what makes a good web product, the psychological factors that web products exploit, how some popular, feel-good products are actually bad for society, and what designers and technologists should be thinking about when working on new interactive web technology. This talk will be an attempt to provide a coherent outline of how epistemology, eastern philosophy, design, psychology, and the internet are connected.
