We were dumber and weaker than Neanderthals, yet we're the ones who thrived — thanks to two underrated superpowers. As we enter a new stage of AI, they've never been more important.
This really resonates. I truly believe in the power of Storytelling. I feel it is a way to share knowledge in a gentle, non confrontational way. Being preached at in black and white do's and don'ts can create resistance. Storytelling seems to open and relax the mind...it is no longer on the defensive and can therefore hear important messages in symbolic form.
I also feel Storytelling enables individuals to engage from their own unique perspective. One story can mean many different things to different people.

Great points! Glad it resonated.
Fascinating! So I'm glad to know that the bonding, gossipy storytelling in my (over-55) community really does help us survive and thrive!
Awesome post Joe! Love the positive message
Thanks for the kind words Martin!
