## Resource

Brian explores the difference between subjective truth and objective reality through a simple contrast: ice cream and insulin. Personal preferences may vary, but some truths remain true regardless of opinion or belief. This reflection challenges listeners to consider whether parts of life they treat as personal preference may actually be grounded in deeper realities with real consequences.
