Which do you find more compelling?
Do you prefer truth or fiction?

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.click to expand
Yes I like the truth in the real world, in historical knowledge and other such things I hate made up stuff.
I read novels and science fiction.
I also read the news and hard science facts.

I'm not looking for a 'better' I'm just curious about what makes people tick.

Don't ask mutables...they like all sort of things, including contradictory ones...š
I read fiction mostly
I prefer to be told the truth

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.
When I read books I only read fiction.
I find fact/non-fiction obsolete; a book of this kind risks becoming outdated the moment it's published. You can do your own research online with more information available than what can fill an entire book.

I like biographies in theory, but I feel like gender, culture, time etc always cause biases in the authorās 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, thereās strong feministic undertones and I donāt appreciate it because Iām 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 itās misogynistic and itās the opposite as what I described earlier. So yea, thereās no real ātruthā, only versions of it.

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 āwe saved the whole worldā perspective) š¤£š¤£ Some of them are very specific but Iāve spent a great deal of my time traveling seeing sites and learning about these topics

Sometimes both, but in lots of ways, I'm always seeking the truth even though fiction reveals more truths than just the plain truth itself. Most of whatever fiction I experience is through dreams. Somehow it just feels more exciting than reality.
Truth obviously. I mean if I want fiction I'd watch cartoons. Which I do anyway. So both? I don't knowš¤·āāļø
