    Nothing is real. No concept you hold is concrete, actual reality. Our brains weren’t built to mold perfectly to the intricate contours of the universe, they were built to make a fast efficient model that does a bit better than our competitors. So, not only can you always be wrong, everyone is always wrong.

    This really helps me give people more leeway and understanding. It helps me be kinder, and helps me take the time to understand others more.

      @ZenFriedRice Yes! Everything is kind of a lie, and everyone is kind of a fake. You too. Me, as well.

      This is really liberating, and I find it kinda amazing and beautiful even that it all still works.
