Right at the beginning of the first chapter, he asks a great question, "Do you want stories or reality?"
Me personally, I like knowing that the facts I know are truly facts and the things I don't know are exactly that, things I don't know. I don't need false ideas floating in my head to distract me from what is true in the world.
I'm with you, I'd much rather have facts and reality. Stories are great for entertainment but not as a belief system.
ReplyDeleteI am for facts when facts and stories are mutually exclusive. However, when they coincide, stories make the facts more memorable and interesting.
