Narrative Fallacy
Flawed stories shape our views of the world and our expectations of the future.
"Something about the way disciplines are designed masks the point that is more generally a problem of information. While narrativity comes from an ingrained biological need to reduce dimensionality, robots would be prone to the same process of reduction... Information is costly to obtain... costly to store... costly to manipulate and retrieve" – The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb
