There are facts, and then there's "my truth". I find it hilarious that people in both extremes tend to fall for the same devaluing of facts.
There's the fact that when a car progresses along the street, and there is an object in its way, it will need to slow down, stop or swerve to conserve itself so as not to hit that object.
We need to be able to both progress and to conserve wherever appropriate.
