I see your channel as a curriculum and with this video you are distinguishing and differentiating something very important and I will dig in deeper and write more later but here is the comment I left on this video and the previous video that touched on this subject. I would like to add to this dialogue using a quote from Joseph Campbell about the four functions of mythology. This quote is taken from an essay of his entitled The Mythological Dimension. “The first function of a mythology is to awaken and maintain in the individual a sense of wonder and participation in the mystery of this finally inscrutable universe. The second function of a mythology is to fill every particle and quarter of the current cosmological image with its measure of this mystical import. A third function, no less important, is the sociological one of validating and maintaining whatever moral system and manner of life-customs may be peculiar to the local culture. A fourth and final, essential function of mythologies, then, is the pedagogical one conducting individuals in harmony through the passages of human life, from the stage of dependency in childhood to the responsibilities of maturity, and on to old age and the ultimate passage of the dark gate.” I think the distinction between and differentiation of mythological storytelling an sociological storytelling is an important one. I actually stopped ritualistically watching movies (one a week for around twenty years) after The Last Jedi) because it turns out mythic storytelling was the reason I watched movies in the first place and I just gave up because it seemed the people who made movies had given up on this type of storytelling.
