My worry is people who only focus on narratives & claim them to be true & act as tho they are true & disparage science & reason.

They tend to set up a false dichotomy in which you can *only* value objective facts OR individual and group experiences & perspectives.

That if you claim objective reality to exist, you must be a robot who doesn't think human experience & emotion are in any way important.

But this is a projection of their own one-sidedness. They focus solely on human experience & emotion & reject objective truth.

Even those who dedicate their working lives to the goal of achieving objective knowledge, dedicate much of the rest of it to human feelings.

Relationships, politics, communities etc. And stories whether in the form of fiction, TV, video games.

And of course, in reality, those who disparage the idea of objective reality, accept it on a mundane basis. Or they'd be dead.

It's just such a stupid thing to get dichotomous about. Objective reality exists & so does highly variable human experience of it.

I'd argue most don't understand the extent to which we view the world through an imperfect interface. Hence the oddity of human experience.
