DESCRIPTION
Humans like to think in either/or terms. We like to think that the real world and the virtual world are separate from each other. This is complete bullshit, and most of us know that in our heart of hearts, but we work hard to preserve the dichotomies. There's something about them that we're really attached to. It's hard for us to break these binaries down and recognize the infinite facets and complexities that constitute reality. It's hard for us to move away from "either/or" and embrace the "and". And it's critically important that we do.

“Truth is a well-known pathological liar. It invariably turns out to be Fiction wearing a fancy frock.
Self-proclaimed Fiction, on the other hand, is entirely honest.
You can tell this, because it comes right out and says, ‘I’m a Liar,’ right there on the dust jacket.”
