Culture evolution not revolution
Gradual, intentional cultural evolution is more sustainable and more effective than dramatic cultural overhaul. Revolution — the attempt to replace one culture with another in a short period — triggers the full force of cultural resistance (Cultural resistance to change), destroys functional elements along with dysfunctional ones, and produces change fatigue that makes subsequent changes harder. Evolution — the practice of continuously adapting cultural patterns through small, deliberate adjustments — works with the sedimentation dynamic (Culture is built by repeated behavior) rather than against it, preserving what works while incrementally modifying what does not.
