Do you think that the digital conditions of ‘easily evaded uncertainty’ is related to maxxing behaviour? Where you need an order of magnitude more X to accomplish a nontrivial experience of transcendence. So maxxing behaviour is an attempt to find transcendence in conditions where it is not easily found, as finitude as comparatively absent. Not to mention it gains attention, but this perhaps one side of the coin.

This is a useful framing - thank you! If you haven’t already read Vaughn Tan’s recent work regarding uncertainty, I recommend it as a useful complement to what you discussed here. https://open.substack.com/pub/uncertaintymindset/p/strats-uncertainties
