Is Science Fiction Legitimate?

Fiction has to emerge in a culture that did two things: define which texts are true and which ones are false. And then we went full empiricist with the Enlightenment and sort of actualized the material is real. So if you go to an Amazonian tribe or spend time with Australian aborigines, they have stories. That comes from their head, whatever that means, but it's enchanting. We kind of, there are so many ideological structures that we have mistaken for true until we interrogate them a bit.
