A replay from VISIONS Summit: NYC featuring Future Commerce Co-Founder Phillip Jackson

What happens when you bury the essence of an entire civilization fifty feet underground? Live from VISIONS Summit: NYC, Future Commerce co-founder Phillip Jackson takes us on an archaeological journey through time capsules—from the monuments of the Westinghouse's World's Fair to NASA's Golden Record floating through space. Through the lens of these cultural artifacts, we explore a provocative thesis: that commerce is culture, and in five thousand years, only brands will survive to tell our story.

What We Buy Buys Us Back

Key Takeaways:

  • Commerce is culture: What we buy literally buys us back, shaping who we become as individuals and societies
  • Brands as time capsules: Companies like Westinghouse and Panasonic have created some of history's most comprehensive cultural documents through their time capsule projects, and brands are the most central figures in these critical containers
  • The psychology of consumption: Repeated exposure through performance marketing mirrors the spreading activation theory that drives curiosity and attitude formation
  • Cultural permanence: In an era of synthetic reality and AI, time capsules may represent the last authentic artifacts of human civilization
