Death by Burning
In the spirit of those revolutionary dream-darers, inventors and doomed gadflies of hypocrisy, we’re on a mission to find the heretics among us and put a mic in their hands. Imagine a world robust enough to listen to its heretics, an institution strong enough to incorporate their insights, a community eager to honour in real-time those who choose to ruffle feathers instead of smooth them? That’s what we’d like to help build. And the best place to start is by listening — suspending our assumptions, our knee-jerk reactions, our disbelief. Let the burning begin.
