Shun fact refers to well-documented facts based on established research, statistics, or journalism that are often overlooked or ignored in public discourse. These facts can provide new insights and understanding on a broader, more comprehensive level, without jumping to conclusions.
The aim for shun facts is to inspire people to be curious and aware of questions such as "How did we end up here?" without claiming an absolute truth.
Often, shun facts make more sense than the narrative, as if they are the missing links, but adding newer facts without necessarily disproving the original narrative.
A collection of shun facts may even strengthen established facts, leveling up the main public conversation when overwhelming evidence from multiple sources and experts points to verifiable facts that seems to be consistently omitted from this very discourse or the algorithms feeding us.
