Anyway, good morning from a very pleasant grant rejection that says shifting the framing of technology as a magic money tree is not close enough to reframing economic norms. 🧐

I'm now incredibly curious about their implicit narrative to what 'the economy' is, that should be focused on. Some mystical land, detached from all interconnected 'other areas', a thing in itself 🤔 verrry interesting narrow boundary setting.
I mean they did mention that the systems are interrelated, but once could argue that 'the economy' doesn't exist on its own without talking about other systems that are part of it, unless you want to use it interchangeably with 'the financial system' - but that's a narrative in itself.

Sorry for the rejection. These applications take so much work.
I hope you get to reuse the idea for another funder / programme soon!
It seems like the funders couldn’t either
Them: “be more innovative”
Us: “Here you go!”
Them: “Not that kind of innovative!”
