There are two types of reality… subjective and objective.
Objective reality is the stuff of fact. It’s measurable.
For example, the sun rose this morning whether you believe it did or didn’t.
Subjective reality is the stuff of shared cultural ideas. It’s the way ‘we’ do things around here.
Subjective reality is constantly changing, it’s fluid, but we are increasingly using it as a way to make decisions far more than we should.
‘Never wear white to a wedding,’ is fine. It doesn’t hurt anyone.
‘COVID-19 is just the flu, the rules don’t apply to me,’ is a bit more problematic.
The world is increasingly running on subjective reality and we are worse off for it.
We have a choice…
We can choose when we make decisions based on subjective reality, and when we should be using objective reality.
It’s important.

We wouldn’t give away parts of our properties. We wouldn’t give away our money without a positive reason.
If you keep saying ‘the bad guy won’ and judging everyone who supports them as an idiot, then you are playing right into the ‘good vs evil’ fallacy.
