The Abstrait Is Less Real Than the The

Fiction is an abstraction from this underlying, noisy substrait. People are affected by it because they see that the thing that's represented is part of the pattern of their being. And then with these old stories, these ancient stories, it seems to me like that process has been occurring for thousands of years. It's like we watched ourselves, and we extracted out some stories, we imitated each other, and we represented that in drama. And then we distilled the drama, and we got a representation of the distillation, and then we did it again. i think some of these stories, they've traced fairy tales back ten thousand years, some fairy tales in relatively unchanged form.
