Questions: 13 – 18
Story telling is not in our genes . Neither it is an evolutionary history .It is the essence of what makes us human .
Human beings progress by telling stories .one event can result in great variety of stories told about it . Sometimes those stories differ greatly. Which stories are picked up and repeated and which are dropped and forgotten often determines how we progress. Our history, knowledge, and understanding are all the collections of the few stories that survive. This includes the stories that we tell each other about the future. And how the future will turn out depends partly, possibly largely, on which stories we collectively chose to believe. Some stories are designed to spread fear and concern. This is because some story-tellers feel that there is a need to raise some tensions. Some stories are frightening, they are like totemic warnings. :”Fail to act now and we are all
doomed”.Then there are stories that indicate that all will be fine so long as we leave everything upto a few especially able adults. Currently this trend is being led by those who call themselves “rational optimists”. They tend to claim that it is human nature, to compete and to succeed and to profit at the expense of others. the rational optimists however do not realise how humanity has progressed over time through social networks and how large groups work in less selfishness and in the process accommodate rich and poor, high and low alike. This aspect in the story-telling is considered by the ‘Practical Possibles’ who sit between those who say all is fine an cheerful, and be individualistic in your approach to a successful future, and those who ordain pessimism and fear that we are doomed. What the future holds for us is which stories we hold on to and how we act on them.
