Yes! But also: making existing institutions better is almost certainly going to provide better cultural ROI that starting new ones. Part of what makes institutions institutions is that they _endure_.

I guess we both favor preferring existing institutions, so I’m disagreeing with your conclusion. But there’s a word for favoring existing institutions: “conservativism.” Not many people on this board like that word.
