The Future Would Like to Shake Your Invisible Hand

Culture is a complex and multifaceted concept that encompasses a range of beliefs, tradition, customs, and practices shared by a particular group of people. While institutions and leaders may exert influence on cultural norms and values, it is ultimately the collective effort of common people that drives cultural evolution and transformation.

One way in which the invisible hand of common people shapes culture is through their consumption patterns. As consumers, individuals make choices about what products to buy, which in turn influences market trends and the production of goods and services and social interactions and relationships.Through these interactions, individuals share ideas, beliefs, and practices with one another, shaping a collective identity and sense of belonging.

Average people play a crucial role in shaping culture through their creative expressions and artistic endeavors. Artistic forms such as music, literature, visual arts, and performance art reflect the values, experiences, and perspectives of the creators, who are often ordinary individuals with a passion for self-expression.

The invisible hands of average people shuffle the future with everything that they do. The most obvious and impactful way is determining who is born.

If any of the conditions had been different at the moment of anyone's conception, someone else would have been born in their place.
