In my blog Types of Love, I made this comment: fantasy + intuition + beliefs = facts. Another view is this: from unknown unknowns towards known knowns (facts). My 2017 diagram gives another view by moving from below-right, to below-left, to top-right, towards top-left (facts). Source: my 2017 blog Focus vs Distraction It should be stressed...
Probably, Simon Kuper is (mostly) right in his recent FT article (below). In general, Simon Kuper is a good writer. This article seems, however, rather keen to illustrate a negative view.

Intro LO: A 1 December 2024 SCMP article (see below) caught my immediate interest as I’ve had a similar idea mid 2022 that was based on an earlier idea in my 2018 blog: 2022: Is stupidity the flip side of beliefs? 2018: Knowledge = Power and the Great Filter in civilisations (5) I prefer my 2022 diagram in this specific stupidity context.
