Grounding

Note that Insights are not Stories. Insights are factual statements about the world. Upon reading stories, insights naturally follow. But in the absense of stories, these statements would be ungrounded and uncertain, seeming to arise from nowhere, their veracity hazy. In this we see that general statements about the world don’t stand alone. Stories are the purveyors of evidence that supports these general insights.

Insights tells us what to conclude from stories. How the world works, what people seek, what are the results of actions, what are the impediments. Insights assess from stories what functions well or poorly, what benefits are realized, what could be addressed that could produce different outcomes.
