The stories behind things are amazing. There’s just so much incredible lore out there. Colors have origin stories. Food has traveled thousands of miles. Wars were fought over pepper.
Humans create new stories all the time – some are just fantasy, but those are just as amazing to explore. And some of those will become real just because enough people believe in them that they grow up to manifest them into reality. You ever wonder why flip phones existed? Because all the people who designed phones loved Star Trek with its handheld communicators that looked like that!
