People are attracted by stories, not facts.

If the story is true, good. Facts without a story lose against stories without facts.

That’s why populism is so successful.

If facts would matter Trump would be president.

The facts were all known beforehand and are now, but many don’t care about facts.

People aren’t as rational as myths like the homo economicus try to make us believe.

Just look at ads. They sell emotions not facts.
