We seem to be the large numbers species: we think in terms of math and doing things in “scale.” The only critters who outnumber us are the insects and the microorganisms, and they still hold some sway over us.
But. Meaning still gives us a challenge.
Of course challenge is what we need. Numbers alone won’t do it. Meaning is bigger than challenge. Bigger, faster, stronger, more are what challenge is normally about. Meaning makes the challenge worth the effort.
Thus the breadcrumbs we leave in our stories ought be about meaning. So I think today.
