Cultural Authority
#culture note/develop🍃
Icons are built by moments in time. They provide people some sense in the tensions of the times. Cultural authority gives them the ability to assert a frame to the way people view things. Icons always protect and project their values. In a fast changing world they strive to disrupt themselves before others disrupt them to stay ahead. What defines an icon from a fad is their willingness to sacrifice short-term popularity for long-term relevance.
