Narratives drive how we, at our best, come together to make things work for us. But the constraints of experience always bind.
-
We make experience into a story tho and we tweak it to fit what we feel is the 'moral' or 'point' of the story.
-
Indeed, we do.

They teach 'making it work' according to set ideologies -feminism, Marxism, queer theory, post-colonialism etc. Valorising confirmation bias

In reality, few things do work so neatly. An honest argument is usually 'X but sometimes Y, qualified by Z & we're not sure where W fits in'
