Our brains respond to language expressing facts differently than they do to words conveying possibility, a team of neuroscientists has found. Its work offers new insights into the impact word choice has on how we make distinctions between what's real vs. what's merely possible. (1)

But what is a ‘fact’?

What do we know for sure?

How can we be certain even for the table in front of us? Are we certain of our senses and their validity? Are we certain of our perception of things in the cosmos? Can we ever be?

Petty humans.

Fooling themselves that they know something. Because they are just not willing to admit the only thing that they do know for sure: They are cowards.

Afraid to swim in the deep abyss.

What can be better than sitting on the hot sand playing?

Child, come.

Let’s swim.

No daddy.

Come!

I hate you daddy…

(I love you)
