stories are ridiculous. they're all like "oh this thing happened, and then oh, this person said this, and then this other person did that, and then something else happened and caused some other thing to happen." it's like ... ok thanks i guess

Bruh is trouncing oral communication; the 2nd form of communication ever created by humans after body language, and easily the most successful and detailed… SMH.
It’s all coming down…. Around us. It’s confusing to you until you realize the day it clears your mind that it’s all broken, in shambles… gone.
This happens to simple minded people who keep hoping for a light will save the day.. that never happens. There’s going to be no knight in shining armour…
Almost every self-help book I've read about social skills, making friends, being an entrepreneur, and so on say that being able to effectively tell a good story and make people want to keep hearing more stories from you is like...90% of charisma and persuasion.
and at the end of it all you got a shirtless man writhing around on a stage in front of thousands and HBO smacking his own back shouting "suck my back! Suck my back! Suck my baaaaaaack" and the whole crowd orgasms
Don't forget this part, "so last Tuesday, or wait, maybe it was Wednesday. Let me see, i took mom to the hair dresser on Monday so that would make it on Wednesday. Yeah, so last Wednesday, no, I had a dr appointment Wednesday so it couldn't have been Wednesday. It was Tuesday, that's right"
Nice summary. That’s like, first some guy uses a lever to lift heavy thing and now we have cell phones, as an explanation of technology. You slept through lit class, didn’t you?
So anyway, "They did this, and a little of this happened, and someone died and they all lived happily ever after except the person who died. Now here's two words that will somehow make you feel hollow inside: The End"
In my dotage I settled on: "over the course of humanity, probably a trillion stories told (only a fraction of that unique), and at best maybe 1% were true". Probably more truth 10,000+ years ago when stories could mean survival.
Conflict fans: "No, a story needs more than that! It needs conflict!" "Event A led to event B, but nobody was bothered by that? Bad story!" "No, you're supposed to do something because you want something else!"
Event happening enjoyers: "Ha ha, thing happened."
It’s like, “are you trying to imply a narrative alignment for a series of events linked by cause-and-effect? Really? You can’t just accept a cosmic order of complete and utter chaos at all times?” SMDH

Probably something like - Dude! Don't eat that berry! Let me tell you what happened to Urg when he ate one!
Made good by Mom, cooked meat is perfect for any meal, any season.
Many year ago when Grg was little hairy boy, Grg father chase antelope, fall into ditch. There he live many year. He drink rain, count the stars.

I feel this way.

If you don’t feel anything, either the author is not conveying their message correctly… OR you are right with your devaluation of storytelling (😂).
Seriously, you need to read more and judge less

I don't know chile!! I'm just taking a guess. Maybe he doesn't know either! 😆
(What’s that?
Good teachers tell stories in STEMworld, too, because human brains don’t learn so good w/o them?!
WELL, now that there’s no education department, WE’LL SEE ABOUT THAT!)
So anyway, "They did this, and a little of this happened, and someone died and they all lived happily ever after except the person who died. Now here's two words that will somehow make you feel hollow inside: The End"
