We Live Inside Stories We Don't Even See
Why do conspiracy theories spread faster than truth? Why does political polarization feel impossible to bridge? The answer isn't algorithms or education-it's something far more fundamental. We are storytelling animals, spending over five hours daily immersed in narratives, yet we're blind to how profoundly these stories shape our reality. When students calculate their actual time consuming narratives-from Netflix to Instagram to video games-they're shocked to discover they spend more waking hours in "storyland" than anywhere else. Stories aren't just entertainment; they're the invisible architecture of human consciousness, simultaneously our greatest evolutionary advantage and our most dangerous vulnerability. We devote more resources to fiction makers than to the farmers and doctors who keep us alive, revealing our deep reverence for narrative. But here's the paradox: the same mechanism that binds communities together also tears them apart, creating tribal divisions that threaten our survival in an interconnected world.
