So it seems to me that the reason *stories* are so ever-present in how we relate to the world is that they function as a kind of packaging of the infinity data of the world into semantic memory that our brains can absorb.
I've not heard of anyone else making this connection, but it seems so obvious that there must be research on it. I'd be grateful for any pointers to read more.
