This video has one of my best view-to-like ratios in a while which is really nice to see as it's some of my favourite worldbuilding I've done so far for the Verve.

@jdragsky.bsky.social with some awesome new work, and articulates a critique on safety tools as thought-terminating rather than exploration-encouraging that I've been trying to express for a while

This is exactly the kind of design I love, put anything on axes and I am fully onboard!
I've never thought of doing it with safety tools!
If I include rules for safety tools in the Verve it will definitely use this.

I'm away from home for work tomorrow this week so the video I had hoped to come out this week will be next week.
I've got so many video scripts written the bottleneck is always editing.
