Keystone was not created because we believed that the world needed another media platform.
It was created because we increasingly felt that most modern institutions, whether that was corporations or universities or media organisations or even education systems, have lost the ability to speak about people as human beings. The new trend, or the new fad, is to look at people as the relations of relationships they have with other people or what they are relative to some abstract ideal.
The larger an institution becomes, the more human life can be transformed into abstractions. Abstractions of metrics, of performance, demographics, efficiency, profitability, outcomes and engagement, labor and content. Students tend to become numbers and workers turn into replaceable units. Culture no longer becomes something practiced by people, but something for branding and politics.
