I’m in awe of the mental calisthenics, imagination, and intellectual rigor that went into this essay—hallmarks of every piece from your platform. The blend of research, narrative clarity, and systems thinking is both impressive and inspiring. I especially appreciate the essay’s call to action and the quiet but firm hope it carries: that we can design systems that serve people better, and more importantly, that we deserve to. It challenges us to rethink what’s possible—not in theory, but through practical, precedent-based models. This kind of bold, grounded vision is exactly what our public conversations need more of.
Challenging ourselves to rethink what's possible is a tall tall order... especially when it involves getting folks to really dig down and ask hard questions about their established, comfortable, perceived realities!
This is my longest essay on Atlas October to date. Yet, I left so much content on the writing room floor. Happy to answer your queries or engage in thoughtful dialogue about anything you read here. And of course, I'd be happy to elaborate on anything you want to know more about.
