Consolation

The consolation of philosophy lies in that language allows us to adaptively reinterpret a commonly (as historically) inequitable and unnecessarily adversarial world as hopeful, meaningful and just.

A (related) tragedy of communicative dissonance and conflict seems to be that it is precisely the most competitively frictive and absurdly futile of narratives that tend to percolate to ascendance, there to maximally self-propagate.

It will never be commonly acknowledged but the binding narratives of a historical moment are generally those dissonant entities that most effectively dissimulate communicative significance while possessing absolutely none.
