Yea, I was just thinking that.

Truth is a narrative too. There's one difference though: over time, truth will play out.

Simple example: blood moon occurs, people think they'll die. And then the next morning comes around.

With social systems, the truth takes a lot of time to truly unfold, but unfold it does.

Yeah, very much agree. My point moreso was that the truth also needs a good narrative. I think we missed that this last election cycle. Isolated facts are not enough to convince people of a story, even if it will clearly play out as true.
Yep, I agree. Truth needs a good narrative.

What a time to be alive!
