Currently reading this really incredible book about UX by Cliff Kuang U S E R F R I E N D L Y How the hidden rules of design are changing the way we live, work, and play. Quote from page 268: "Yet in hiding great complexity behind alluringly simple buttons, we also lose the ability to control how things work, to take them apart, and to question the assumptions that guided their creation. Modern user experience is becoming a black box. This is an iron law of user-friendliness: The more seamless an experience is, the more opaque it becomes. When gadgets make decisions for us, they also transform the decisions we might have made into mere opportunities to consume. A world of instantaneous, dead-simple interactions is also a world devoid of higher-order desires and intents that can't readily be parsed in a button. While it may become easier and easier to consume things, it will become harder and harder to express what we truly need.

And while I could quote something from any page, that's one food for thought for many discussions I've seen here on the need to improve crypto/web3 UX to make it more simple and frictionless. Also applies to how AI is creating so many new black boxes for us in so many fields...
