About this episode
The episode explores redesigning a queue system for a canoe-making class and the need for systemic social change.
How many generations does it take to get into a canoe-making class? In this episode we go on a quest to redesign a queue system for a local craft school and quickly find that you cannot make a perfect queue without systemic social change.
