formlessness is neither civilized nor natural
culture is a form , and is formed
a culture is either shapely and saving, or shapeless and destructive
forming it demands vision, ideals, philosophy
open & free infrastructure only succeeds in the hands of free people
you have to be fit for liberty
the venture is human

LIVING AS ART: A CURATION PRAXIS
THE SELF is made up, on its growing edge, of the models, forms, metaphors, myths, and all other kinds of psychic content which give it direction in its self-creation. Thinking and self-creating are inseparable. When we become aware of all the fantasies in which we see ourselves in the future, pilot ourselves this way or that, this becomes obvious.
self-creating is actualized by our hopes, our ideals, our images, and all sorts of imagined constructs that we may hold from time to time in the forefront of our attention. These “models” function consciously as well as unconsciously; they are shown in fantasy as well as in overt behavior.

WHO ARE THEY?
The VC might be reimagined as a “founding father” or “Medici patron” archetype, moderated and informed by the same localized context which other members of the community are informed. Most of all, the Medici should understand that economy (among other things) comes from culture, not the other way around. Investment parameters will need to be restructured by the knowledge of the value of the gardening virtues necessary to nurture new worlds. Cultural embedding is the only manner for capital to gain the restraints of humanity. By valuing culture as that which structures economy (and subsequent ventures), the Medici learns to view ROI in terms of legacy, a legacy that by being culturally intact is able to prosper itself from the inside out economically. We must leave hype, abstraction and short term exits and embrace seeding sequoias. Learn to seed the genesis growth of a forest, one whose logic is to successively expand and sustain life from the inside out, forever.
