What makes us human?

There are many features about being human that we share spasmodically with other creatures. For example, we hear, we see, we eat, we move by ourselves, we gather in groups, we scratch, wriggle, make sounds, get startled, and multiply. But there are at least eleven features when bunched together make us stand out, separately from all other creatures, and it’s been that way for the 108 Billion of us that have ever lived here—and live here now. Guess what the main one is. Yep. storytelling.

Cancel Culture and the wrong story: Tim and the bunny, Sarah and the headless chicken

It’s not hard to be a victim (deserved or not) of ‘cancel culture’. Presidents suffer from it. Movie stars cop it. Politicians and electoral candidates have it happen to them. Sports players have to wear it too.

It’s like there are spies roaming around in the ether looking and listening for someone to say something they can make a fuss about and ‘dob’ in the offender. Actually, it’s not ‘like’ that. It IS that! I’d hate to see you suffer such a setback as this by not being careful to manage your language, your narrative or your style in your storytelling. Here I tell two home-grown narratives about my children that we all enjoy but that I don’t tell in public anymore. I’ve been told they are anti-animal, anti-child, sexist, and cruel, an example of how ‘men’ see the world through brutality, they are patronising, domineering, and I could go on. And they’re just family heritage stories between the kids, their mother and me. People used to laugh their heads off and many still would, but there are those ethereal spies out them who will pass on their impressions, which are well separated from my intentions.
