Institutions resist change. Their main goal being efficiency, institutions only run as well oiled machines once we are somehow subdivided into categories, tagged, rated and ranked. Institutions treat individuality as a nuisance, sometimes even as a hazard. This way, institutionalization perpetuates segregation. We can never overcome racism or any other sort of “shapism” if our education continues to be based on obedience and ranking. We have arrived at the point where tech can provide cheap access to the world’s pool of accumulated knowledge and drive active, inclusive civic participation for all individuals, on a deeply personalized level. This is an ode to the emerging digital democracy, to the internet of beings, to deinstitutionalizing society and to the new formula for success, based on meaningful, fulfilling and sustainable daily life.
