schadenfreude

- the waver is the receipt Involuntary tremor — in vibrato, handmade objects, the blush, and schadenfreude — proves living presence: variation between cycles means a real instance is working, while perfect steadiness signals a formula, mold, or recording.
- schadenfreude as the social ratchet Schadenfreude is the social face of the desensitization ratchet: others' failed threshold-crossings register as position-confirmation rather than landscape information, destroying cartographic signal and making recalibration progressively harder.
