We don’t create myths… we recognize them

[00:00:00]We don't create myths, we recognize them. We like to think myths belong to the past, you know, ancient gods, old stories, distant cultures, but look closer. A billionaire launches rockets and suddenly he's compared to Icarus flying too close to the sun. A quiet underdog rises and we call it a David moment. A fallen celebrity, that's narcissus all over again. We don't sit down and invent these connections, they just click because the patterns were already there. Myths aren't stories we left behind, they're templates we keep finding in real life. You know, the same arcs, new faces, different settings. We don't create myths, we recognize them and once you see it, it's hard to stop seeing it.
