Inventables is the innovator’s hardware store.
We sell materials that designers, artists, and inventors use to develop new products and push the boundaries of what's possible.
The email inspiration concept is simple, we send you one email per day everyday. Pretty simple huh!
No big sales pitches or product launches, just one image to help inspire your designs and get your

abductive = laut "Leo" eine nahe liegende Vermutung ohne logische Beweiskraft
The vast majority of students are exposed to formal logic only by inference and then only to the two dominant forms of logic — deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning.
Formal logic isn’t systematically taught in our North American educational system, except to students of philosophy or the history of science.
Deductive logic — the logic of what must be — reasons from the general to the specific. If the general rule is that all crows are black, and I see a brown bird, I can declare deductively that this bird is not a crow.
Inductive logic — the logic of what is operative — reasons from the specific to the general. If I study sales per square foot across a thousand stores and find a pattern that suggests stores in small towns generate significantly higher sales per square foot than stores in cities, I can inductively declare that small towns are my more valuable market
Whether they realize it or not, designers live in Peirce’s world of abduction
Dewey began to explore the limits of formal declarative logic — that is, inductive and deductive reasoning.

Accordingly, the sessions will fall into one of four tracks listed below. Many speakers/sessions confirmed already, with more to come!
I’ve dedicated a lot of research over the last few years to understanding the deep trends that will define the next economy. As I’ve written elsewhere, the global economy goes through a creative-destructive cycle every 50 years. And now we’re in the midst of a collapsing paradigm that is soon to be replaced by something new.
