Ground Rules, Vol. 1
From the 40-hour work week to each of the unspoken rules that referee your social interactions, a vast majority of your life is laid out for you before you've lifted a finger. Your days are largely shaped by an invisible architecture—a vast scaffolding of inherited systems. Our inaugural issue, Ground Rules, Vol. 1, invites you to look a tad closer at the stepping stones lining the path in front of you, and to peruse the background structures that allow order to feel normal, fair, necessary, or inevitable. Are these structures licensing your life from you? Even stranger, are you licensing your life from them?
