Stories About the Stories We Increasingly Live By
b'Our stories are increasingly narrow and do not communicate across larger social groups. Our\\xa0stories\\xa0contain \\xa0fewer facts but more myths, fantasies, and outright lies.\\xa0Our stories are growing shorter with fewer meaningful narratives. Our stories have fewer heroes unless they are fictional superheroes but contain more villains. Our stories are less about skills and resilience and more about victimization and trauma. Our stories are incresingly based on judgment rather than description.'
