- You should always aim for direct manipulation of systems you're trying to change, because that results in the tightest feedback loop.

I’ve been playing Minecraft since I was 10, and still do to this day at 18 years old. I’ve spend these past years making multiple cities and experimenting with the craziest building and urban planning designs. My biggest project yet it a world I have been working on for 5 years now. It covers a little over 1 million square blocks, and is a world... See more

I've always thought that what we colloquially call "tech" (hardware, software) really ought to be seen alongside other forms of technology: social, cultural and spiritual.
So, while some places in the world might have great infrastructure and highly efficient software systems, they may lack the sophistication of social and cultural technology that we see widespread elsewhere.
For example, one of the most overlooked social technologies throughout Africa is chamas, stokvels, merry-go-rounds, etc. They're all incredibly nuanced forms of sharing social commitments, and they are often championed by women who are left out of the traditional financial system. Within this, they've found ways to value what traditional economics does not: child care, social services, life-sustaining practices 🍃
So here's some food for thought: for those of use who mediate these paradigms of "technology", what does it mean to bring the full richness of social and cultural technology into our work? 🌍

Herein lies the triumph of commodification: it separates us from the things we evaluate. ”If a thing is to have a market value,” writes Hyde, “it must be detachable or alienable so that it can be put on the scale and compared.” Karl Marx similarly argued in Das Kapital, “I cannot express the value of linen in terms of linen”. This is why money has... See more
