From Life After Lifestyle
I keep asking people to get more specific about the culture they’d like to see. What do you think it would be good if there was more of? What do you wish people were spending more of their time on? Instead of building a culture-agnostic platform, can you find a way to support that? To encourage that?
The further from goods and services you go, the closer you get to ideology and belief. If it’s the case that the goods and services are a means to a different end rather than the other way around, the question is: what are you leading your subscribers towards?

- software should inherently be malleable
- everyone deserves to own their data and interchange it with different apps
- software should not be bad
- we should create as much as we consume
- we should create together

- how do we ground them in “tradition”? something solid when you encounter it in something so vaporous
