We believe that it’s technology married with the humanities that yields us the result that makes our heart sing
Invent and Wander Quotes by Jeff Bezos
Rituals are how we make meaning, personally and together.
In games studies, these worlds-within-a-world are called magic circles. A magic circle is the space where the game takes place.
We need ritual technology. Technology designed for ritual use.
Why? Most of the software we use daily is designed to engagement-max. Social media feeds, loot boxes, compulsion loops, gang gang yes yes yes ice cream so good. You’re caught in a feedback loop with the algorithm, and you are the squishiest part of that loop.
Where social media is compulsive, tools for thought are reflective. Where social media is here and now, tools for thought dwell in the long now. Tools for thought slowly build compounding momentum through low, slow feedback loops that point us in the directions we want to develop.
To build the next big search engine simply focus on people.
It’s why people add “reddit” to their queries and prefer to search social — we want to see results from humans, not soulless SEO farms.
