…Thinking Fast and Slow - study after study shows that we exhibit so, so many cognitive biases, as our minds take shortcuts. there are some things you can do to recognize and mitigate these biases. * Imagined Communities - the notion of a "nation" is only 300 years old and has no objective basis, only the fact that a group of people agree that it is a thing.
I'm reading Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities right now and I recommend it for anybody looking for a deeper dive into nationalism than a video series can do.
FWIW, a more approachable, more concrete conceptual model that explains how much of "reality" is a shared fiction is Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagined_Communities). I've never read Baudrillard's works directly, perhaps because having read Anderson's famous…
Lots of books have influenced me over time, but these are some of the books that have a lot of influence over my current mindset: Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid - Douglas Hofstadter Imagined Communities - Benedict Anderson Historical Capitalism - Immanuel Wallerstein Young Man Luther - Erik Erikson

This has happened to some extent forever, through oral tradition, but manufactured media certainly accelerates the process. If you’re interested in this kind of thing i’d recommend Imagined Communities by Benedict Anderson, in which the author analyzes the way nationalism developed with the invention of the printing press. It's a classic text of anthropology and absolutely blew my mind when i read it…
……《思考，快与慢》——一项又一项的研究表明，由于我们的大脑总喜欢走捷径，我们表现出了极多极多的认知偏差。你可以采取一些方法来识别并减轻这些偏差。* 《想象的共同体》——“民族”这一概念仅仅存在了300年，并没有任何客观基础，只不过是一群人共同认定有这么个东西存在罢了。

我正在读本尼迪克特·安德森（Benedict Anderson）的《想象的共同体》，想对民族主义进行深度了解、觉得看视频不过瘾的人，我强烈推荐这本。

供参考，有一个更平易近人、更具体的概念模型能解释“现实”在多大程度上只是一种共享的虚构故事，那就是本尼迪克特·安德森的《想象的共同体：民族主义的起源与散布》（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagined_Communities）。我从没直接读过鲍德里亚（Baudrillard）的著作，也许就是因为读了安德森这部著名的……

多年来有许多书对我产生过影响，但对我目前的思维方式影响最深的是这几本：侯世达的《哥德尔、艾舍尔、巴赫：集异璧之大成》、本尼迪克特·安德森的《想象的共同体》、伊曼纽尔·沃勒斯坦（Immanuel Wallerstein）的《历史资本主义》、埃里克·埃里克森（Erik Erikson）的《青年路德》

这种情况在某种程度上一直都存在，通过口头传诵；但工业化媒体无疑加速了这个进程。如果你对这类事情感兴趣，我推荐本尼迪克特·安德森的《想象的共同体》，作者在书中分析了民族主义是如何随着印刷机的发明而发展起来的。这是人类学的经典之作，我读的时候简直被震撼得不行……
