    It should be a comfort that we're not so different.

That's why I find the Hero's Journey so romantic.

Cultural invariants aren't dull, or dross, or stale. They're what bind us together. They help us overcome selfishness and work together. To be mutualistic, rather than predators and prey.

Individuals define history, but commonality defines humanity.
