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. It’s not the only tool but without it, the others are fairly inaccurate.

Cheers

Agreed all. I have long advocated that our NSS/ National Security Strategy is our national narrative

Our current NSS, available publicly, is a vision for progress and more importantly, via the values and founding principles, we prize as Americans.
