amazing quote. "It is getting harder and harder to believe in the very idea of objective truth. Pick a side, pick a story, and you will be welcomed into the open arms of an exciting industry, pre-built just for you. You will feel seen, you will feel heard, and you will probably be happy. Followers, retweets, and compliments will all be yours. "
it really hits home the point imo
the only thing we can learn from what people believe is the "truth" is what they want to believe, what gets them out of bed in the morning.
on the one hand, we have those who rise to the idea that as a species we are collaborating and trying really hard to meet any challenge. we may not be hitting home runs, but we sure are giving it a good crack.
on the other hand, there are those whose only reason to live is to feel persecuted, conspired against, isolated or marginalized. every roll of the dice is seen as a manipulated threat to their existence, and they seemingly love it, cant get enough, spend endless hours seaching for more and more proof that they are a victim.
