In what context? Any?

Yeah It's a vague context. Like some fictional ideas can be more invigorating and interesting to people than reality. Like Astrology, is quite fictional to me, but I enjoy it and find life better for it being there even if I don't think it's real.

I like to be able fuse both fantasy and reality when it comes to astrology. It allows me to study what I know or feel and still understand that there's a WHOME bunch more out there. Maybe we'll never know the full extent. But I'm still curious.


But in the 3D world, give me the truth. I'll respect and respond to you better.

Yes I like the truth in the real world, in historical knowledge and other such things I hate made up stuff.

I prefer truth. At the same time truth isn't something that truly exists. Anything you think is true you can't honestly prove, and if you can, it's only a matter of time before something in this reality changes, then proves your truth obsolete or false. Because of that I just prove we truly live in a world of fiction. There is no truth here. The one and only truth is we will eventually die, and even then, no one can prove what happens after that.

I like biographies in theory, but I feel like gender, culture, time etc always cause biases in the author’s writing. For example, I own and have read several biographies about Henry VIII & his wives, namely Anne Boleyn, who was a divisive figure. When this couple is written about by women, there’s strong feministic undertones and I don’t appreciate it because I’m reading a biography. I can come to a conclusion on my own without angry and manipulative wording to make points in favor of the author. But If I take the same subject and read a biography from a male author 100 years ago, now it’s misogynistic and it’s the opposite as what I described earlier. So yea, there’s no real “truth”, only versions of it.

Geminis seem to be into history.

Very much, I love Ancient Rome (politics and life), Tudor England (Henry VIII specifically), Renaissance Italy (the Medici family and also the corruption of the Catholic Church), and WW2 (interest in Axis powers, not in the Murica “we saved the whole world” perspective) 🤣🤣 Some of them are very specific but I’ve spent a great deal of my time traveling seeing sites and learning about these topics
