Fwiw I think “you can’t change culture” is different from “culture is static/can’t be changed”

I.e. I’m not sure culture can be changed top down as a result Merkle policy/product decisions, it changes in ways that are more organic and emergent and the result of repeated interaction with reality

That said I do think culture can be changed by individuals. I think proxy shipping clanker changed Farcaster culture. But it changed as the organic result of him launching something that resonated, not as him saying “how do I change Farcaster culture”

proxy joined because of degen, which was downstream of us demanding a degen channel, and then eventually jacek creating $degen. This was a massive cultural change from early farcaster which was totally against speculation. every third post early on was ‘ so glad this place is a safe place from ct and speculation’

Stuart Hall's discussion on structuralism and culturalism might help shed some light on it. In short, culture is both created and transformed in passive and active ways—shaped by rigid structures like institutions but also through individual actions.

Hall emphasizes that culture is not static; it is a site of negotiation and struggle. Structuralism highlights how overarching systems—like economics, politics, or media—shape cultural practices and meanings. On the other hand, culturalism underscores the role of individuals and groups in actively interpreting and reshaping those meanings through lived experience.

we can discuss broadly if proxy is an institution and not an individual.
