Meaning seeking as grounding for our reality

This article of Maria Popova, "The Confidence Game: What Con Artists Reveal About the Psychology of Trust and Why Even the Most Rational of Us Are Susceptible to Deception" is a highly recommended exploration on our natural disposition to making meaning, how it affects our process of "knowing" and some logical implications for what "reality" is.  I have been following Maria Popova for a while, finding some of her compilations, and/or articles, to be, more or less interesting or well stringed but this one is very good.  The title betrays a bit the value that I found in the content but it did succeed in getting me to read it, and so I hope it does for you!  Thanks Maria Popova for sharing your insights with us!
