“The human brain was built for belonging, not for truth. Under stress, we reach for simple stories, familiar enemies, and the security of certainty. Fear and status anxiety show up dressed as common sense. And once a belief becomes a badge of identity, it stops being something we hold and starts being something that holds us.” — Glenn A. Maltais
