Probably a little cliche of a recommendation at this point, but Jordan Petersons book Maps Of Meaning really nails the significance of archetypal characters and stories that run like a thread throughout human history. They really do shape nations as well as the human psyche.

I think I get what you're saying, but I think Aella's referring to the fact that narrative can very well influence how people _react_ to and view a pandemic or server choke, and that in itself is powerful

BJ Fogg talks about the power of stories in terms of forming habits. The idea is that we tend to be more likely to continue with a new habit if there is a story attached to it because stories transmit cause and effect relationships

found this counterintuitive at first because I want more logic/order whereas stories create an emotional response and I find that untrustworthy. interesting to realize that stories actually hold so much power because it seems we’re more inclined to be influenced by them
