Cultural intelligence produces a new kind of aristocracy.
The Avant-Garde Aristocrats (TAGA) INC.
“The deepest problems of modern life derive from the claim of the individual to preserve the autonomy and individuality of his existence in the face of overwhelming social forces, historical heritage, external culture, and the techniques of life.”
— Georg Simmel, The Metropolis and Mental Life (1903)
TAGA draws from art, social economics, psychology, anthropology, and history to examine how cultural systems shape reputation, influence, and social standing. For those who did not grow up within these environments, it offers a structured perspective on how these forces operate in practice.
