>>"but in the end they don't change material reality itself"

What exactly do you mean by that (i.e. what material reality are you talking of that doesn't change?)

Narratives change what people believe and think. What people think changes how people act and behave. How people act and the actions they take change reality (for themselves and others).

That’s a very good question and I cannot sufficiently answer it in a note. It will take a post of its own. If you do me the courtesy of looking for it, I hope to get it out this weekend, or maybe Monday.
