I started to hate natratives. The narratives authors construct reflect their biases. If their bias is weird enough it gets popular (because it's not boring). It's most attractive for people that are already (lightly) biased in the same direction. It makes them more biased. All it does is draw people away from correct understanding of objective reality. And yet narratives are praised as a way to understand reality better.
So if you want to indulge in fantasies of twisted minds about how the world works read literature. If you want to improve your model of reality read a coursebook or a manual.
