What your culture really says

I was so excited to read this..!

I often hear people in the startup community valorize "critical thinking." Most often though, they're talking about creative talents applied to tech (software & business) problem solving.

That kind of critical thinking (which I consider as cleverness with a specific category of puzzles) is readily available though - there are plenty of great hackers in the world.

There is another kind of critical thinking that I find broadly neglected - the kind in this post. The startup/software community needs more of this.

Can you imagine what the world might be like if the resourcefulness of hackers become more strongly intertwined with institutional&cultural critical thinking? What if "disruption" wasn't 98% motivated by $$$, but originated from studied/steeped desire to move power, class, race, politics, representation, and art?

When I hear 'culture'... I unlock my Browning!
