I don't follow. In what way do stories make claims?
My epistemology is based on what is established as true through evidence. We worked on meaningful narratives that bonded people for most of history. It didn't work well.

I still like narratives. I'm a literature student not a scientist for that reason but this doesn't make the ones which are helpful to me true. It's important to recognise that.

I would argue it worked remarkably well for survival. It seems the removal of these stories cause catastrophic events to occur. Now to create technology it has not worked well. It is not they are no longer needed, just serves different functions.

Do you think we survived better when we worked on mythic narratives? I don't think we did.

I think the time scales are too small to know. But we have seen the loss of narrative lead to destruction. I think a mix of the two is ideal. Over emphasis on one or the other is limiting or potentially harmful.

We don't lose narratives. We just change them and decide what power they have in society. The SocJus narrative is growing fast and it's scary because it has a certain amount of institutional power.
