That's not a sacrifice I am willing to make.Note that this is more than just "if enough people believe it, it becomes true." That's still a world where there is truth, it's just decided by majority vote, which is distasteful to me for other reasons, but not because truth has been outright eliminated. A world where each person's beliefs and perceptions really are all true, same time/thing/sense, is a world where "truth" has no meaning. Every statement you could possibly make is true, and anything you can convince yourself is true is, necessarily, true. No one can communicate because everyone has their own truth and it needs zero relationship to anyone else's truth. No one can make changes, because nobody can make something be true for someone else against their will. Reality collapses into an infinite string of genuinely solipsistic bubbles, each individual living out whatever beliefs and perceptions they have.I can't accept that as a worldbuilding premise. It's actively antagonistic to the concept of storytelling, of achievement, of gameplay.</blockquote>
