Narrative is Code for the Human Brain feat. Neal Stephenson | Rabbit Hole Research S2 E1

Narrative is code for the human brain.
That's not a metaphor. That's Neal Stephenson's argument — and he's spent
40 years writing at that intersection.
Before writing, before the internet, humans were already building a shared
memory around a fire. The ability to take a near-death experience and hand
it to someone else — so they don't have to live it themselves — is the most
powerful evolutionary advantage a species could ever have.
We also got into:
→ Why archetypes might be the eigenvectors of human experience
→ The parallel between writing code and writing fiction
→ Why AI can't replicate the feeling of seeing brushstroke marks on a painting
→ What happens when you remove telos from an AI interaction
→ WhenAir — and what it feels like when an NPC makes you feel embarrassed
This… is Rabbit Hole Research.
