Tech industry culture rarely produces transformative tools for thought

Why are Tools for thought so rarely produced by industry work?

• Effective system design requires insights drawn from serious contexts of use, but Tool-makers usually lack connection to a serious context of use
• Focus on power over scale for transformative system design
• Deep research requires a slower pace than tech industry work
