Episode notes
Metaphors We Live By by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson is a book that had a profound impact on the author's identity. The concept of everything being metaphorical to some degree and grounded in embodiment became an obsession for the author. This understanding is especially relevant for those working in programming and digital design, where abstract ideas often lack a physical reality. The author's experience in illustration and designing digital products involved intentionally crafting concrete representations of abstract concepts.
