Cobas AM: Nueva Gestora de Francisco García Paramés

This ability to construct a narrative is central to what we mean by “intelligence.” Remember, we humans are not so much the “rational animal” as we are the rationalizing animal. We interpret the world not in terms of objects and events, but in sequences of objects and events, preferably leading to some conclusion, as they do in a story. Our ability to choose an optimal behavior appears related to our ability to come up with the most plausible sounding explanation of the world: the best narrative. It turns out that we may have Homo economicus in our brains after all—acting as a literary critic.
