Thinking about the universe of available facts as an infinite library illustrates how unlikely it is that two people will select the same 'book' or version of reality. When analyzing complex conflicts, such as the Israel-Palestine situation, the starting point often hinges on the temporal scale used for the argument—whether it's 100 years, 3,000 years, or somewhere in between. The chosen time horizon influences the narrative significantly, highlighting how fluid and subjective the landscape of 'facts' really is. The key takeaway is that human perception simplifies an overwhelming amount of information into manageable filters, which serve to produce reasonable outcomes for individuals despite the inherent complexity.
