Dollop of randomness

Story may be a probabilistic fractal: where stories are applied with a dollop of randomness in each succeeding generation so that humanicity develops meaning.

So we cannot, ought not, seek to bestow our truth on the generations. Better we can ask them to develop their own. Give them a recipe to make recipes. Maybe they will pass along an even more fundamental recipe creation recipe.

What adds especial interest to this flow is the additional feedback loops that become possible as we find ways to extend lives: imagine an elder at 120 hearing a new truth from elders at 80 and 110, and together they bring forth an entirely new generation of truth.
