Get the pickable upable mug.The cynical but often accurate observation that for any complex issue, a person can selectively present isolated data points ("cherry-picked" facts) to construct a compelling but deeply misleading narrative that supports their pre-existing bias. This isn't a claim that all facts are false, but that their power comes from context and omission. A single statistic, a lone study, or an individual anecdote can be wielded as a definitive "truth-totem" while ignoring the vast forest of contradictory evidence surrounding it. In the information age, data isn't power; curation is.
Example: A climate change denier points to a single cold day in July and declares, "See? No global warming! All facts are cherry-pickable." They've plucked one irrelevant data point from a planet-sized dataset of rising temperatures, using a "fact" to fabricate a falsehood. It's the weaponization of the technically-true to obscure the actually-true.

Get the All Facts Are Cherry-Pickable mug.The formal sociological and epistemological principle that because human knowledge is vast and fragmented, and because all narratives require selection, any political, ideological, or marketing campaign can and will build its case on a foundation of carefully chosen, verifiable facts. The theory states that the battle is never over "facts vs. lies," but over which curated subset of facts achieves cultural dominance and gets woven into the accepted story. Truth becomes a matter of narrative victory, not just verification.
Example: The Theory of All Facts Are Cherry-Pickable explains how two historians can both use authentic archives to "prove" diametrically opposed views of an empire—one highlighting its architectural achievements (cherry-picked facts of grandeur), the other its slave ledgers (cherry-picked facts of brutality). Both are factual, but the chosen narrative defines the "truth."
