I really don’t like fiction

We only have a limited amount of time on earth, and there’s so much real history, science, and human experience to unpack. So why are we spending it on stories that aren’t even true? Isn’t that, in a way, a big lie? A kind of deception? Fiction can cloud our sense of reality. It shapes the way we see the world, but often in ways that aren’t grounded in truth. I get that fiction can be meaningful or even realistic sometimes — but how often does that really happen? It's rare, and honestly, really hard to pull off well.
