Burden & load

Asymmetric Sustaining

When one group continually absorbs the toil of keeping a system alive so another group can move fast or claim success. It often hides behind gratitude for “resilience” while masking extraction.

Ethotechnic practice flattens this by lowering the burden gradient and designing for stopability so resilience is institutional, not personal.
