The Idea

Culture is technology.
We just haven't learned
to build it intentionally.

Every society runs on shared processes — ways of talking, deciding, resolving conflict, generating meaning. Some are centuries old. Some were designed last year by a team optimizing for engagement. Most were never designed at all.
