Circular prose

"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

Humans have a really weird mix of mundane superpowers.

We're not fast and don't have a lot of natural weaponry but we're bizarrely tolerant to a broad range of toxins to the point that one toxin is considered a morning necessity for some to perform at work. Gotta love us.

A tweet by Nintendo Life captioned "Random: Japanese Parents Are Using Pikmin To Keep Their Children In Line". It is accompanied by a cropped image of the Pikmin 4 box art to show the Blue Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, Red Pikmin, and Crystal Pikmin.ALT
A reddit post titled "Pikmin 4 changed improved my life and I fucking hate it". The post reads: "Every single time I have something that needs doing that I don’t want to do I just think to myself, “Dandori issue.” Every single time. And it works. Every. Single. Time.  The only way I get so much done now is by dreaming of being one of these weird little plant guys. How do I explain that to my parents? My friends, even?! How do I tell them that my sudden drastic increase in productivity is from getting over my Dandori issue??  I just want to go back I don’t want to be a pikmin anymore. I don’t want to hear their little carrying song when I take my laundry out of the machine. How do I unplay pikmin."ALT

This is actually very normal human behavior. It's just that most people (in the USA) think "Jesus strengthens me" instead of "I am a pikmin, dandori time"

This is literally why stories and fantasy are so useful to humans. We cannot tackle every mundane challenge with enthusiasm, and facing against profoundly daunting tasks can be deeply demoralizing, and you don’t get to feel cool or heroic for filing 400 pieces of paperwork.

We arm ourselves with stories and fantasy, so that the laundry can become a charming hurdle to overcome, and the daunting stack of bills is the leviathan we the brave knights must slay.

Humans have always been like this. So many cultures have stories or mythology or even rituals about literally embodying another being better suited to the challenge one currently faces.

Stories are armor. Stories are fuel.
