Hey, Nanette! Apologies - I've only just seen your comment. Yes! Isn't it extraordinary. I'm fascinated by the whole overlap between psychology, biology and storytelling. I have a whole raft of posts I'd like to write on this, but they tend to be quite chunky and I'm not sure how much interest there would be. I might have to test the waters ...
Excellent post. I always think that social media exploded because we no longer have small communities where people meet and gossip - celebrity gossip and social media fills the void. Not always well, as we well know.
