storytelling is the only way to impose meaning on abundance, coherence on noise, & legitimacy on power. strategy, ops, & capital are all downstream. without narrative control, none it will ever stick. this has been the core premise of my account. in a world of infinite output, story is the scarce primitive. whoever can compress chaos into something ppl can feel, remember, forgive, & rally around actually runs the system. this skill is worth more than the entire c suite combined.
