stories

Storytelling isn’t an escape from reality, it’s a deep dive into it. 

What happens to a nation that only reads headlines? They get journalists who chase clicks, rather than facts.

Any story we tell of our species, any science of human nature, that ignores how important stories are in shaping what and how we think and feel is false. We evolved to be ultra-social (and self-deficient), so we care deeply about character and plot.
