Your Own Facts

we are the multiverse
each mind reflecting
its own probabilistic existence
and though these reflections
do resonate on occasion
no Ministry of Truth can force them
to fully cohere

Thus whether you are entitled
to your own facts or not
is irrelevant, you do in fact have them

Slow shifts in these facts are possible,
but not really due to persuasion --
rather, through primate socialization
you absorb them from your surroundings
a slow osmosis of other people's facts

And that's the truth.
