Be a good mutant!

Legendary designer Philippe Starck -- with no pretty slides behind him -- spends 17 minutes reaching for the very roots of the question "Why design?" Along the way he drops brilliant insights into the human condition; listen carefully for one perfectly crystallized motto for all of us, genius or not. Yet all this deep thought, he cheerfully admits, is to aid in the design of a better toothbrush. (Recorded March 2007 in Monterey, California. Duration: 17:07.)

Starck is amazing. I went to a conference of him about 2 years ago and I was amazed... He is definetelly the design rock-star, because he kept a big full-house audience totally focused and interested, and he never said the word 'design' a single time.

As a matter a fact, he didn't even talked about design, but at the same time everything he said was... design. Unbelievable :)
