"We consider how we live as somehow inevitable, that the systems by which we live, communicate, create and thrive are deliberate creations.
​
As we dig deeper, and look at history through the prism of evolution, it’s more complicated than that. Ideologies that we all subscribe to, be they religious, political, social or fiscal, are essentially stories that we each choose to opt into as they help us create order out of a world that is actually quite irrational and unpredictable. Nowhere in nature do we see ‘capitalism’ or ‘humanism’ at work.
​
They are fundamentally arbitrary, even though they serve very particular and tangible purposes. Over time humans have bent the world to their will, through language and the exchange of ideas, in a way that has enabled the race to dominate and perpetuate.
​
On an individual level, we inherit the given order, and work the rest of our lives to square the circle. Following this line of thought to it’s natural conclusion then, one realises that the rules of how we each choose to live is actually not set in stone, but up for renegotiation. This idea of agency is one of the recurring themes in our work." - in conversation with Papersmiths READ.
Welcome To My Multiverse
Aloha, I'm Hardeep, often known as H, and welcome to this corner of the multiverse. I am a storyteller, designer, and purpose-driven entrepreneur. Stories are one of the oldest technologies we have as humans and my mission is to seek out, curate and share narratives, people and projects that are working towards planetary flourishing. I do this through my own design practice - per se - which houses my social impact moonshot - Age of the Steward and my audio transmissions, The Architecture of Contemplation, abd in freelance, mentoring and consulting partnerships. My past lives include story-telling at Cartier and writing at the FT...

The Architecture of Contemplation
TAOC is a podcast, with accompanying Contemplations, where I speak to fellow humans, learn about their life stories, and ask the big questions: what precisely are we doing here, and could we do it better?
