> The power of stories is that you are alone in the telling of them. I don't know about you, but I've noticed a pattern where the stories people tell on social media and even in person often have an uncanny resemblance to the stories that are told the day before in mainstream media. Heck, if everyone plays their cards right, you can often even get a nice (profitable) war going! > It doesn't have much to do with physics.

And, that realm often leaks into the physical realm, much to our horror/delight/confusion.
