In this episode we discuss why we love stories and why we think they're important to us as a species. We answer questions like:  Why do you think stories have such profound impact on us?  Do you feel like stories impact you on that level, or do you feel more like an observer, not being changed by the stories you intake? and we talk about books, shows, and movies that have changed our way of thinking and how we felt about a specific subject.  thanks for listening, watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmyDf4ZP_nOMa75J5WNSTqA
