“Humans think in stories rather than in facts, numbers, or equations, and the simpler the story, the better.”

A big true. Since the beginning.
It’s funny that people are just realizing this now. We spent thousands of years telling stories and then we were to stop, so that “one” story could be told.
He scares me the most.
That’s a you thing. 🕊️Yuval doesn’t argue that people need to stop telling stories. He discusses how humans have always lived by shared myths, from religion to nations to money. His warning isn’t about storytelling itself—it’s about the risks of believing in any one dominant narrative without questioning it.
It’s definitely a me thing. That’s funny, because I’ve always thought him to be of the complete other school of thought. That his story is to be believed and that his version, or belief of what the future holds, is the only story to be told and believed.
All just information ✨
Nah, stories are tools, not just “information”. Like any other, they can be used for enlightenment or for control. For progression or regression. They are powerful and our skills of discernment have been lost. This man knows how to tell stories people believe. This is why he scares me.
