    Yes, yes, I already said truth is good for medical decisions. I just don’t think it needs to be crammed into every aspect of our lives. Sometimes people just want a break from truth.

      “A break from truth” is how we end up with fascism. It’s why we end up with racism and bigotry.

      No, just no. What is the benefit to any of this?

        If we set aside truth for a moment, then we can enjoy fiction. It’s called suspending one’s disbelief.

          You think I’m unable to enjoy fiction? I’m just able to tell the difference between fiction and reality. An ability that I believe is REALLY fucking important.

            Well there you go, you don’t care about truth all the time, you have time in your life to set truth aside and enjoy fantasy. You just hadn’t realised it until I pointed it out.

              Here’s a great example I just came across.

              This is why it’s important to know what’s real: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-evangelical-voters-maga-b2842752.html

              I don’t worship PlayStation games.

              I don’t base my life and beliefs on the movie “Tampopo”.

              You really cannot grasp the difference? I don’t believe that.
