A semi-interesting read on a topic I often think about.

I’ll boil it down to “new systems generate new social systems, that become imitations of themselves, that then cannibalizes the initial system.”

The insight I see here is we need new social technology.

The “hands on” founder is back with Gen Z, along with verticalized ambitions. There were easy wins building on the institutional tech stack we've inherited, but today you are more likely to conform or fail if you launch a transformational innovation on that stack.

Instead, I see founders going to the source of each institution to create change. Cul de Sac in AZ going after that.

In the same way, we’re designing a vertical reinvention of the org as a guild. There’s institutions we’re build on for sure, but the security comes more from community than the enforcement of agreements by traditional institutions.
