      who has interesting take (that you don't necessarily agree with) on interplay of narrative as motive force versus material conditions/circumstances in outworking of history

      already reading spengler, will certainly read de jouvenel, likely will read ranke and carr, might skim toynbee, appreciate more suggestions

      at this point fairly committed to doing "ok here's my theory of historiography and a summary of 1500 years of western history, now we can talk about ideology and geopolitics" as a book and now in research mode

      hm this doesn't capture the causal component though - a decision familiarized through narrative is one easier made

      though in a history context, it's probably more about "what propaganda can you make work" and the narrative constraints on propaganda

      I specifically don't mean propaganda (ie a narrative constructed with intent, to "sell something", which is only interesting for its utility) but what I've been calling "world-ideas" ie models of reality

      basically the way I unify narrative-mode "here is the story of history and the pivotal moments when ideas emerged" and materialist-mode "the narratives are fake let's look at what people ate" etc stuff

      is people behave according to a world-idea which contributes to guiding action but over time the narrative drifts away from reality (eg what power centers have "legitimacy" vs which have real power)

      this tension builds until it becomes unsustainable at which point a new narrative has to be constructed to explain the current reality

      at which point the narrative is projected both forwards in time to guide action and *backwards* in time to explain events from before it existed

          this to me is the crucial idea that can be used to make sense of both events of history over a long span and also writings of historians projecting their world-idea back onto times past
