He shares how subcultures can offer an alternative lens through which to view the world, urging listeners to seek out narratives that resonate deeply, rather than those that are widely accepted or popular.
3. Narrative Disruption as a Path to Enlightenment: Noah advocates for a continuous questioning of the stories we inherit and those we adopt, suggesting that enlightenment lies in the disruption of these narratives.
