Why do so many people do crazy things on a daily basis? Why does the world so often seem to be flying off the rails under the influence of people who have bizarre beliefs but have managed to attain power?
Imaginary Realities provides answers to these question from a psychological perspective. Although others' beliefs and motivations often seem delusional to us, people's imaginary realities allow them to make sense of the world and function effectively in it. This book examines the psychology of imaginary realities with respect to anxieties, morality, joy, humor, and several issues threatening the world today, including ecological destruction, AI, and biomedical interventions.
