If this design makes you uncomfortable, good. Comfort is the enemy of thought. The smooth, polished interfaces we inhabit daily are designed to minimize friction -- and in doing so, they minimize the cognitive engagement required to navigate them. Friction is thinking. Friction is attention. This site has friction.
THOUGHT_03: "The most dangerous phrase in any language is: we've always done it this way." The brutalist choice is not laziness. It is a refusal to participate in the aesthetic consensus that privileges polish over substance. Every unrounded corner, every harsh border, every collision of elements is a deliberate assertion: form should provoke, not pacify.
