> Show, don't tell is a foundational narrative technique in writing that encourages authors to convey emotions, actions, and settings through sensory details, actions, dialogue, and specific imagery rather than direct exposition. Instead of stating facts or emotions outright, writers create immersive experiences that allow readers to infer meaning and draw their own conclusions.

the fact is if you have to state something in this manner, you're trying to force it, rather than reveal its nature. iow, if you're not an ape, simply not acting like an ape makes it self-evident.

similarly if you have to say "black lives matter" to enforce that idea, then you don't embody that idea, and it highlights that black lives do not, in fact, matter.
