What is more powerful, facts or fiction

I always wonder if facts and non-fiction are counterproductive. They stop the evolution of stories by cementing a way of doing something as the truth. On the other hand fiction keeps the stories of life liquid, in motion, transforming and creating new ways of being, doing and acting. Fiction permits us to expand beyond our limits and explore the unknown. I think it’s all one big make-believe. What is the difference between non-fiction and fiction? No difference-but non-fiction is stationary and cemented to a time in history and attached to certain mechanics; fiction is fluid, creative and ever-changing. Live in fiction, recreate your life, the world and this Paradigm. Yes World 3.0

Why do we love to be fooled

Why is it that we love not being told the truth. We accept living a mega lie and we know at a certain level that we are being taken and that the game is rigged. Yet we continue to act like it is not so. I am not curious about the what and the why of the people doing the covering up and the lying. I am very interested in the why of those of us being taken for a ride in many areas of life: finance, health, politics, education, energy, etc, etc. We cannot handle the truth. We cannot stand transparency, why?
We pretend that China does not censor its citizens, that it is not a violator of human rights and a cruel dictatorship; that Cuba is not run by two gangsters; that Venezuela is not run by a crazy destroyer and a corrupt dictator. That Russia is not a Mafia state and the US congress has not been bought by the top interest groups: Oil, insurance, banks, pharma, etc. How about you? Where do you and I stand in this whole game?
Transparency is the new killer application of the new global paradigm, World 3.0
