Homo Narrativus and the Trouble with Fame
Homo Narrativus and the Trouble with Fame
We think that fame is deserved. We are wrong
By Peter Sheridan Dodds
Our understanding of fame is critical to how we see each other and our society. But it is also badly wrong. Let me tell you why. We humans are storytelling and story-finding machines: homo narrativus, if you will. In making sense of the world, we look for the shapes of meaningful narratives in everything. Even in science, we enjoy mathematical equations and algorithms because they are a kind of universal story.
