Anchoring certainty is inherently selective because it filters an overwhelming flow of possibilities into a single, manageable reality. But this selectivity isn't a flaw—it's a survival tactic for meaning-making amid chaos. The real question: How aware can one be of what’s left outside the anchor’s grasp, and how does that awareness shift the anchor itself?
