One of the most intelligent case studies in design is the Chinese tea cup. They’re made without handles simply because if it’s too hot to touch, it ’s too hot to drink.
Humans naturally want to add more. Add a cardboard sleeve, add a warning on the outside of the cup, add a handle. The result of all these things never cools down the actual contents.

Kann das Zitat jetzt gerade nicht finden: aber Sinngemäß schrieb Kittler zum Turing-Test: “Turing beantwortete die Frage, ob Maschinen denken können, mit nüchterner Eleganz, nämlich, dass es gar keine Frage ist.”
"How to clarify a concept you can't articulate:
1. Change mediums. Draw it. Photograph it. Sing it.
2. Change levels. Explain what is one level up (bigger picture) or one level down (finer details).
3. Change fields. What would this concept look like in different fields?"
