We believe all art, technology, and politics should be human-centered and designed with humanity in mind. To that end, we believe these three fundamental parts of our modern life can and should complement the human experience:
- We are an exclusively online publication that writes, encourages, and elevates pieces and thinkers which keep humanity the central theme and focus;
- We seek to engage our readers with longer pieces of depth and to challenge our audience to think — the type of thinking that occurs in periods of reflection, meaningful dialogue or solitude;
- We aim to slow ourselves in a world of hurry, pursue curiosity where it may lead, and cultivate our ability to think critically about the stories of our time.
In the litany of global myths, the hart — or deer — symbolizes freedom, spiritual piety, and compassion. The cur — or common dog — represents domestication, friendship and civilization. Together, the Hart and the Cur reflect the tension and harmony between nature and civilization. We celebrate what is untamed in nature, but are equally interested in the structures, traditions and institutions that shape human life.
