SHAPING THE FUTURE.

About

Shaping Desire

The feeling of "liking" is the origin of desire. It has the power to drive people forward. Because we like something, we want more of it. Because we like something, we want to make it better. That’s why, rather than simply judging right or wrong, we use "like or dislike" as our measure—creating and shaping only the ideas we truly believe in.

We may be biased. We may clash. But breakthroughs can only come from such tensions. We uncover the essence of desire, knead it until it becomes an answer. We are a collective that gives shape to desire.
