Let’s just admit it. When someone says the word “hero”, we think of superheroes flying around wearing capes and first responders. I would posit that the real superheroes of this era are our comedians. Instead of seeking out villains and law breakers in order to mete out swift justice, our…

Is it the Stories We Tell?

Ever since we crawled up onto the land from out of the primordial ooze, we’ve loved telling stories. We told stories about how we came to be and about where we were going. We told stories about how the world worked and how it would end. …
