    There’s not a person out there for everyone. 

    You gotta make changes to make people want you as a partner.  This isn’t a fairy tale, and you’re no prince/ss .

    The whole ‘finding your soulmate’ thing. Sometimes people just settle because they’re afraid of being alone. I watched my sister marry the wrong guy because she was approaching 30 and panicked. We all pretended to be happy for her.

    “If you do it repeatedly, day after day, it will eventually be different.” If it fails once, it sure won’t succeed the next time. It’s the largest lie in history, that repeating a failure will always end in a success.

    That our institutions are real.

    Our institutions are socially constructed. It means it’s a story we tell each other, all agree to, and all contribute to.

    Is there good and evil? Is there Justice? What is a law? What is a business? All of these are human inventions that society agrees “exists” and we do so because these institutions facilitate collective action.

    It’s just correlation causation effect.. 

    You just know one incident of some comeuppance but rest are all fine.

    We just pretend there is a cosmic balance to make our lives easier

    When people ask where I live, I usually say the city next to mine since it’s more recognizable—it just makes it easier for them to place it on the map.

    Religion. Most educated people in today’s world, from baby boomers to Gen Z, know that God is a manmade concept. But they refuse to let go simply because they’re greedy (always asking from God) or don’t have the courage to speak their mind in the fear of losing reputation with near ones.

    That marketers exploit our biases and generate anxieties they sell the cure for.

    I don’t need a bigger TV, but I need a bigger TV, and this one is 50% off $1,000 MSRP, which is much better than the exact same TV at the other store that has it priced at $500.

    That ‘money doesn’t buy happiness.’ It absolutely can, just not all of it. Try being sad on a beach with your bills paid and your fridge full.

    Not everyone, but the talking point about Israel defending itself by indiscriminately bombing civilians and infrastructure comes to mind.

    The ones not opposed aren’t so because it’s easier, not because they honestly believe they are right.

    What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger (don’t know if this saying is correct, I simply translated from german).

    It’s a lie.

    What doesn’t kill you might leave scars on body and soul, may cause trauma, even PTSD, can change your life forever and for the worse and in most cases: makes you overall weaker instead of stronger!

    Treating others well does not mean they’ll treat you the same way. Depends on the individual of course, but some individuals are just arseholes

    Unfortunately I can’t tell you because it’s frowned upon to point it out and it will get me banned to just mention it. Long story short, without mentioning anyone; most people are way to comfortable with genocide.
