about

• Gilded Ladder •

Ladder is inherently suspicious of ideology. It believes in incremental change and small-scale decisionmaking. It believes that the big questions of the universe are unsolvable, but they can be reduced down to many small questions, and many actors working independently to chip away at them can collectively come up with a solution. And it thinks that any one of those small actors minding their own practical problems is more important and productive than a million philosophers debating the big issues.

Ladder society prizes engineers and technicians at the expense of nearly everyone else, and their aesthetic reflects that: Lots of sleek, gleaming machinery, objects that are very clear about how advanced they are, angular buildings made out of black steel. In cities, street layouts are often simple grids, so that they can expand with the minimal amount of urban planning possible. Augmented reality is required to navigate those cities, and the AR views are often covered with advertising. Ladder isn’t overtly concerned about whomever gets ground up in its machinery.

Ladder doesn’t believe revolution ever works, so of course it thinks Hammer is only ever going to break stuff it doesn’t understand. At the same time, it thinks the utopian technocrats aligned with Star are creepy, overbearing, and delusional.
