Season 2 Episode 09: Societal Design with Kendra Hicks
What roles are needed to design the society that we want?
With special guest, Kendra Hicks, we peel back the layers of the onion of the society we live in: government, scale, democracy, and more.
“Everyone has a role in societal design, it’s not reserved for a specific set of people... We can see larger and maybe faster benefits from doing collective societal design on a smaller scale.”
“I wonder if people even see society as something that needs to be intentionally designed...”
“[America] might be too big. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It means we get to figure things out at scales that feel better.”
“The established systems and structures from the past are not the systems and structures that are going to get us to the future that we want. And I’m really curious about looking at the deforested slope of our society and figuring out how to turn it back into a lush forest.”
