Science and myths

While myths have their own value in cultural heritage, science offers a rational and evidence-based approach to understanding the world around us and developing new technologies.

I've seen evidence that suggests you've been manipulating facts to fit your narrative. Why would you do that? Person B: Look, the truth isn't always black and white. Sometimes you have to bend the facts a little to get people to see the bigger picture. The society has been blinded for too long by the established norms.
