Narrative Quotes

The narrative fallacy addresses our limited ability to look at sequences of facts without weaving an explanation into them, or, equivalently, forcing a logical link, an arrow of relationship, upon them.

Where this propensity can go wrong is when it increases our impression of understanding Picture Quote #1

That decision to commit your life to certain principles and a certain narrative, if I wrote a paper on that, I know I’d find inconsistencies Picture Quote #1

The narrative was properly about race, sex and class... We went a beat too fast in assuming that a rape took place... We just got the facts wrong. The narrative was right, but the facts were wrong Picture Quote #1

It has always been something I could do, and it may seem odd that in my case I seem to create an interesting narrative and frustrate the reader’s opportunities to follow it at every step Picture Quote #1
