Almost all our #geekproblem software fails because it’s built around control, while any healthy society is built on trust.
We keep producing piles of #techshit because we can’t communicate this simple truth. The result is endless #techchurn.
One way to address this is to fund the social side of tech.
The real problem is how institutions fund the social layer of #openweb projects. Right now, most of that money risks feeding parasitic #NGOs rather than anything useful. At the same time, existing funding for coding often reinforces the #geekproblem, especially when it moves beyond basic infrastructure.
We have a mess because the world is messy – but current funding does very little to compost that mess.
That’s the work of people with shovels.
The question is: who funds them?
