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 a great variety of stories being told
about it. Sometimes those stories differ greatly. Which stories are picked
up and repeated and which ones 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 choose 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 also to profit at the expense of others.
The rational optimists however, do not realize how humanity has progressed overtime
through amiable 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 story-telling
is considered by the 'Practical Possibles', who sit between those who say all is fine and
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
