Your Definition
The act of constructing a persuasive but deeply partial version of "reality" by selectively focusing on a subset of facts, experiences, and data points that support a desired narrative, while ignoring a larger, more complex, and often contradictory whole. It is the curation of a believable simulacrum of the world to win an argument, sell a product, or justify a policy.
