#Metanarrative

A metanarrative is hailed as the grand stage direction pointing humanity’s future, yet it often turns into a dream-pillow woven from the teller’s wishes and conveniences. Supposedly hunting truth, it quickly mutates into a handy theater for self-justification. While constructing a lofty edifice of concepts, it is often just a hodgepodge of miscellaneous examples. People flock to believe it, perhaps making it the device most deserving of skepticism. Ultimately, it swallows every question and shatters each doubt, masquerading as an all-powerful mythology.
