Here's a major hypothesis: There can be only one grand narrative in a society at any given time, and it can only supply psyche energy to 50% of the people it is about. The other 50% have to find dark energy to live off of because they're socially dead. A no-free-lunch theorem.

Not necessarily a contradiction there. Grand narratives recursively contain smaller subcultural ones all the way down to individual. But there most certainly are levels of narrative consensus above individual. It is belief in only the individual layer that's platonic.
