Future Commerce’s Post

In this Substack piece by Matt Klein and Remi Carlioz, we get a new language for understanding our current cultural psychosis: a world optimized for spectacle over meaning.   Dashboard Culture: loud, measurable, algorithm-friendly, and optimized for visibility at any cost. Camouflage Culture: quiet, private, encrypted, existing beyond the feed.   The irony? Both are coping mechanisms for the same disease: the collapse of critical distance. Everything has to be seen, quantified, or monetized to matter.   Quoted in the piece is our Co-Founder Brian Lange, who offers a different path forward: “Keep secrets. Speak in rhymes and riddles. Communicate in scents and touches.”   Maybe mystery is the last true rebellion. Are we still capable of cultural critique without fear, or do we all live on the dashboard now?   Read it: https://lnkd.in/gaAnvmnW

This makes me think of Kate Fannin's work with us on our Field Notes! We believe brick & mortar isn't dead--which is why we created Field Notes. We even have a "smell" section because more is communicated via scent than we might realize. https://www.futurecommerce.com/field-notes
