1 + 1 = 3: Ken Burns on what makes a great story

This is just — great! Really, really great. Enjoy!

“We have to keep the wolf from the door… We tell stories to continue ourselves. We all think an exception is going to be made in our case, and we’re going to live forever. And being a human is actually arriving at the understanding that that’s not going to be. Story is there to just remind us that it’s just okay.”
