Desire for Simplified Narratives: Human beings naturally gravitate towards comfort in complexity. During uncertain times, simplified solutions can appear more appealing than nuanced realities, leading to a dangerous adherence to misleading truths. This tendency can propagate misinformation and delay necessary growth and change.
