There is  a lot of value in that apporach.  It seems to me that we often tend to over-value the rational, while completely missing the fact that humans are very similar to other primates in their basic social needs. I found the artcile on Williams syndrome absolutely fascinating.

In that regard it makes sense that when people begin to feel socially secure, their story teller usually can be compelled to find socially acceptable and valuable stories.
