This week I read a post that got me really thinking about our quest of reversing climate change. The post was sharing about the objective (facts, "it's raining"), the subjective (individual feelings, "I'm sad that it's raining"), and the intersubjective (shared stories, myths, "rain on your wedding day is good luck"), all key ideas from the book Sapiens. And the takeaway was that shared stories are scaling technologies for human civilization. Scaling technologies to go beyond tribes (cough cough carbon removal) to entire civilizations.
If stories are what rule the world around us, what stories are steering the climate conversation today? And who created them?
