Yes Rogelio. How is it that you see either applying here?

Most humans have little control over their belief systems. This is formulated by their own internal narrative. Once set, very difficult to modify

The modern era, especially in the West, we disregard the depth of our enculturation. Rarely, can things be viewed exclusively with data and scientific reasoning. This has been at the heart of all US/ NATO beatings over the past couple of decades and more. I would suggest that true understanding of identity is rooted in NIA/ Narrative Identity Analysis which is a combination of art and science, from multiple disciplines. Simply analysizing modern events with science and reasoning leads to disastrous outcomes.

Your final question is a good one and a far deeper understanding can be found in Narrative. ItтАЩs not the only tool but without it, the others are fairly inaccurate.

Cheers

It's far from being a Birchers tactic. These tactics have been present from before Aristotle. Narrative cannot be explained so easily. It's quite important to have a working understanding of narrative in order to draw conclusions.

As narrative applies to the current version of the GOP, this relatively short podcast may be of assistance.

Stories are parts of narratives and don't have the same influence properties. Meaning making is the purview of narrative. The problem with the US security community is that they refuse to learn the difference, but they are at least two generations behind in all things influence
