Value
A simple society is a smooth and structured society.
In a simple society, everyone can live an intuitive and diverse way of life, and they will be able to focus on the work they want to do and the work that is worthwhile in connection with people.
In order to realize a simple society, we set the main issues to be solved as “personalized work style”, “inflexible rules”, and “business style with a lot of middleman exploitation” and move toward achieving the vision. I’m here.
