I have random thoughts throughout the day around why I’m doing west major - usually stemming from bad things happening, things being hard, questioning why I’m doing it, etc.
And I go back to a handful of ideas. There’s probably a perfectly crafted mission statement that captures these, but I have yet to figure out how to properly articulate it.
I thought maybe today id just start jotting them down as sort of core beliefs / reasons why we exist. It’s a list for now, more than one sentence.
The list isn’t done. But I think the first one is this -
1. The physical world today needs less slop.
we don’t need more disposable, forgettable, soulless temu product. We need fewer better, thoughtfully designed and made things that inspire us, are beautiful to look at, and add meaning to our lives.
Short and sweet.
So anyway, this is one of the reasons I like to think we exist. I want less slop, more beautiful cool things, and I’d like to think that’s something we’re striving for / trying to add into the world.
