In this podcast episode, Mark, Mike, and Hunter delve into the nature of myths and why people tell stories. They start by discussing how myths are often thought of as just ancient stories, but in reality, myths are still being created today. Myths are stories that help us understand the world around us and give us a framework for how to live our lives.
Mark also discusses how and why we find stories gripping. He suggests that our brains are wired to respond to stories because they engage our emotions and activate our imaginations. Stories also help us make sense of the world around us by providing a structure or pattern that we can understand. This pattern resonates with us because it reflects the struggles and triumphs that we experience in our own lives.
This episode is meant to wrap up the tetralogy on myths and stories. Up next, it's back to Plato
