Tell me something you know to be true, but people don’t give it as much importance or simply don’t know.



I’ll start:

Our ability to reason did not develop simply to help us find the truth. Instead, reasoning also evolved to fulfill fundamentally social functions, like cooperating in large groups and communicating with others.
Which is why we have biases like confirmation bias.
