Articles like these, deliberately it seems, fail to recognize that in the infinite conceptspace that is reality, there are attractor zones where threads converge - archetypal stories that have been told and retold over time for a reason. Try telling a story that doesn't strike an archetypal chord and see what happens - it lands in the void. "A mechanical engineer created a new kind of baseball bat and made the baseball bat companies more money." See? No one gives a shit. "A mechanical engineer created a new kind of baseball bat, it changed baseball forever into a minmax-optimize-at-all-costs bore show that killed a cultural icon of a sport and while the engineer got rich in the process, he couldn't have predicted the cultural effect his invention would have or how we would lose himself in the process." Ok, now we're onto something. Stories are anchored to conceptspace attractors and condescending them as simply "Western constructs" belies how humans actually come to care about things.
