Embrace the Unknown; Stories Shape Our Understanding
Accepting reality is crucial, as ignoring unknown elements can lead to negative consequences. People often overestimate their abilities while underestimating the influence of luck. Our inclination towards stories is tied to our brain's response, as they enhance experiences through synchronization with the storyteller, releasing dopamine that fosters pleasure and improves memory and attention retention. Furthermore, stories can induce oxytocin release, fostering trust and empathy. Therefore, the most compelling story prevails, and it's essential to recognize that unseen risks can significantly impact outcomes.
