That\u2019s the appeal of it, of course. There isn\u2019t a definitive study. There can\u2019t be.<\/p>\n

Even if we created a forty-year-long, double-blind twin study, there\u2019d be room for someone to ask \u201cwhat about?\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter that the peer-reviewed and consistent results we have are clear to those who read them with an open mind.<\/p>\n

The attraction of simple stories about complex phenomena is that we get to make them up and imbue them with whatever reassurance, solace or threat we choose. Human beings didn\u2019t evolve to be rational decision makers. We\u2019re creators and consumers of stories, seeking status and affiliation, and prioritizing short-term feelings over long-term evidence.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s nice when a story that\u2019s precious to us is reinforced by evidence, but it\u2019s rarely essential. Belief isn\u2019t dependent on facts, that\u2019s why we call it belief<\/em> instead of facts<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s helpful to wonder who benefits from sharing a particular story with us, and what it costs us to believe it.<\/p>\n
