"Storytelling comes naturally to humans, but since we live in an unnatural world, we sometimes need a little help doing what we'd naturally do."
This reasoning doesn't follow, it's just a hollow appeal to nature. If people would work so well out of the box, they would not need parenting, and 10-20 years of that even.

- npteljes 4y agoI see, thanks! I wasn't aware that all this is a part of a larger something, Dan's name didn't ring a bell either. But of course, seeing how accomplished he' is in the industry, it makes sense that he knows about the Hero's Journey much better than a random drive-by commenter, such as myself, knows.
