Parallel Institutions Game
Parallel Institutions Game
The Parallel Institutions Game is the strategic Builder response to captured or decaying legacy institutions.
Instead of trying to reform broken systems from within, it focuses on building new, healthy alternatives alongside them.
Core Strategy
- Create parallel schools, media, businesses, charities, communities, and governance structures
- Attract high-agency people who want to opt out of failing systems
- Demonstrate superior results through competition rather than revolution
- Gradually reduce dependence on legacy institutions
Why It Is Powerful
Reforming captured institutions is extremely difficult. Building parallel ones allows you to bypass resistance and prove better models in practice.
