About

deepnarrative.io is a blog that aims to to shed light on how humans absorb information.  We all live in an information environment shaped by mass media.

Humans dramatically underrate the influence of our information environment on our own thoughts. The media we consume changes our brains. Therefore, the problems of our media lead to problems in public debate, and ultimately problems in the ideas the public holds.

The problems in our media lead directly to problems with democracy.

Most of us interpret the things we hear in the context of our own ‘deep stories’, which allow us to put new information in the context of our own narrative; our own experiences.
