I agree with the premise. Stories are powerful and can be used to effectively cage us into thinking in terms of simple lines ( and unable to see that there are multiple other outcomes ). Some stories are more potent than others. Some resonate more than others, but everyone recognizes their power.

The question naturally becomes why, all of a sudden, New Yorker would want to put a spotlight on this? Did the stories become a tool that has been used all too often? Did the wrong person harness the power of the story? Are wrong stories circling around?
