A quotation from Bertrand Russell
Differences between nations, so long as they do not lead to hostility, are by no means to be deplored. Living for a time in a foreign country makes us aware of merits in which our own country is deficient, and this is true whichever country our own may be. The same thing holds of differences between different regions within one country, and of the differing types produced by different professions. Uniformity of character and uniformity of culture are to be regretted. Biological evolution has depended upon inborn differences between individuals or tribes, and cultural evolution depends upon acquired differences. When these disappear, there is no longer any material for selection. In the modern world, there is a real danger of too great similarity between one region and another in cultural respects. One of the best ways of minimising this evil is an increase in the autonomy of different groups.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher

Just read an article¹ lamenting the uniformity of user-interfaces
> Where’d the variety go?!
I've lived through the variety. The Kai's Power Tools that didn't follow any of the user-interface guidelines for a platform. The Adobe Flash days where UI controls failed to behave like system ones (oh, you expect the scroll-wheel to work in this scrolled Flash control?). Software using non-standard controls that accessibility tools couldn't manipulate.
For a brief glimmer, the web offered that. You put a <button> element in there and it looked like every other button your OS showed you. You used a drop-down, it behaved exactly like every other drop-down in the operating system. It worked in dozens of different browsers from command-line lynx/links/w3m, to DOS graphical browsers like Arachne, to outdated browsers like Netscape and IE, to lightweight graphical browsers like Dillo, to the most modern web-browser engines. Sites respected the preferences for font-face, font-size, text color, etc that I set in my browser's configuration.
But then the Variety folks got hold of it. They wanted custom buttons that looked nothing like system buttons. They used links as buttons. They broke keyboard searching of drop-downs. They overrode how things scrolled. They changed how menus presented and behaved.
To which I say no.
I **want** uniformity. I **want** to apply all the knowledge I have regarding how other things work to know how this new thing works.
So please give me #uniformity, not cognitive load.

“Know then, o my Son, that all Laws, all Systems, all Customs, all Ideals and Standards which tend to produce Uniformity, being in direct Opposition to Nature’s Will to change and to develop through Variety, are accursèd. Do thou with all thy Might of Manhood strive against these Forces, for they resist Change, which is Life; and thus they are of Death.” https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/02/26/know-then-o-my-son-that-all-laws-all-systems-all-customs-all-ideals-and-standards-which-tend-to-produce-uniformity-being-in-direct-opposition-to-natures-will-to-change-and-to-develop/ #accursed #against #aleisterCrowley #allCustoms #allIdeals #allLaws #allSystems #book #book111 #change #death #develop #directOpposition #forces #know #liberAleph #liberCxi #Liberא #life #manhood #might #natureSWill #produce #quote #resistChange #son #standards #strive #tendTo #TheBookOfWisdomOrFolly #uniformity #variety #withAll -
