Our first speaker today is @jonathangottsch, who presents us with the dark side of storytelling. He starts light, saying that jokes are a great example of stories infiltrating everything that we do. #story19
Humans are storytelling animals, says @jonathangottsch. But the power the storyteller has can be used just as much to harm, as it can to heal. #story19
We have fights about alternative stories and interpretations, says @jonathangottsch, who is pessimistic about the storytelling animal now. “We allow the narratives to choose our facts.” #story19
”Storytellers will help to author the future, and the only question is whether we’ll write us to a brighter world or a darker one,” concludes @jonathangottsch. #story19
