4 Stages of Instinct Evolution | Story is Vicariously Programmed Instinct

This video walks through 4 stages of the evolution of instinct. I essentially make the argument that humans can vicariously program our own instincts (and the instincts of people in our communities) through storytelling. I use the System I / System II framework from Daniel Kahneman to think about how this works. The worry is that social media is hijacking our nervous system by reprogramming our instinct.
