Seeking Certainty
Note: Topic that Victoria (Spain) mentioned she was researching for her novel during the OGM 2025-11-06 call.
Victoria's Work
Writing a novel and "researching about how people seek certainty"
Stacey's Response
Stacey Druss offered her framework: Two Truths and a Lie
"I think of every story as being... there's two truths and a lie in it"
This helps keep an open mind and constantly question "which is the lie"
The Question
In uncertain times, how do people:
- Find stable ground
- Make decisions
- Navigate ambiguity
- Deal with unknowns
Connection to Other Topics
Curiosity decline: Perhaps people seek certainty over curiosity?
Information overload: Too much conflicting information makes certainty harder
Political polarization: Certainty in tribal identity?
