<aside> 🧗‍♀️ Truth #1: “Faced with the choice between changing one’s mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.” - John Kenneth Galbraith

Truth #2: people do not like to think about the future, so they tend to settle for doom (&spirituality) or optimism.
