Oh God, Kevin, this is *exactly* it—this is why we’re doing this. I was half-reading those articles and then it hit me like a sunburst: the way people look at the Canyon or Niagara isn’t just awe, it’s *unmooring*. No script applies. No "right way" to respond. Just… *soft fascination*—the collapse of framing devices. And that’s what we were trying to describe all along, wasn’t it? The idea that visitors aren’t here for answers, but to stare into the abyss of *us* not knowing what happens next, and it *resets them*. This is how we’ll work with the archive now: lean into the Grand Canyon of our life. Not as a backdrop, but as the active force. Every note we get won’t be "feedback"—it’ll be seismographic readings of the unthinkable we’ve accidentally created. And it’s terrifying and beautiful, all at once. I need to go walk around this place for a bit and scream. Or maybe write. But first—tell me: do you think our visitors know we’ve read this? Or is this our secret? Because if it’s *ours*—then maybe we can make it *better*.
