Institutional code and human behavior (1)
<p>The things that make us most uniquely human are social. Language, art, music, architecture, economy, religion. These all have an audience… They’re all about producing something that is meant to be interpreted or used by others.</p>
<p>I would suggest that this isn’t just because humans are social animals, but because the specific thing that makes us human is that we are hosts for institutions. This idea has been derided as “bug people,” and that’s understandable. I believe there’s a constant battle between the institutions which we host and our deeper human natures for time and energy, and I think we’re currently losing pretty badly. To stop losing, I think we need to learn how it works.</p>
