Designer here. I went all in on the Golden Ratio for a season. It was good for some things, bad for others—kind of like everything else. I never thought about it with regards to type sizing so I may try that. That said, it will utterly ruin some things.
Values are dependent upon hierarchy because values have to and enforced. The attempted removal of hierarchy minimizes and/or obscures the company's values and prevents them from being lauded. In its nature, the flat model is not forthright to its workers. This is why its employees function with suspicion in the dark.
Fear of change and new things. People were opposed to cars when they were first introduced. Ironically self-driving cars will arguably save countless lives. The resistance and fear will pass. But I do love driving...
This was really helpful to see how the author thought through the palette's creation. In my experience, I came to similar results, but over a long period of time and rather haphazardly after endless tweaking.
I would add that often times it's helpful to define a "light on dark bg palette" and "dark on light bg palette."
They believed the universe was ordered and maintained by a celestial hierarchy with the Creator at the top. Places like Middle Earth and Narnia are metaphors of the model. Lewis's "The Discarded Image" is not an easy read, but would help anyone who wants to know more. A more current and more easily understood starting place would be Michael Heiser's "The Unseen Realm", which is squarely theological / Christian in nature, but still thoroughly academic. Heiser's book carries continuity with Lewis's book, but Heiser has done the work to make the material more readable for the masses by footnoting a lot of the references and for the person who really wants to dig in, he's provided supplemental material.
The worldview of Tolkien and Lewis was deeply inspired by their academic understanding of medieval cosmology. Dwarves and other fantasy creatures were not strictly "made up", but were types meant to reveal the reality of invisible spiritual and celestial creatures within the model of the universe. Disney's treatment of said creatures was barbaric in their minds as it completely missed the theological and philosophical significance they were supposed to communicate.
Anecdotal, but I have one multi-millionaire friend who left California strictly because of taxes. It takes a certain type of personality to just up and do it and he exemplifies whatever personality trait that is.
Millionaires are established, and the article goes into reasons why they don't move around. However, what potential effect does higher taxes have on people starting businesses or thinking about starting one?
I have grown to appreciate Tufte a lot and I think he's spot on with some things, but when it comes right down to conveying information from one brain to another, I think Matthew Butterick's principles are better, though I am sure there is lots of crossover.
