    One of my favorite ways this has ever been expressed is through David Graeber. Paraphrasing:

    If you convince 100 million people that you can breathe under water, and you go sit at the bottom of a lake, you drown.

    If you convince 100 million people you’re the king of France… Then you’re the king of France.
