What This Feels Like

You can sense the fence even when you cannot see it. Certain questions are labelled “unhelpful”, “dangerous”, or “bad faith” before they are even spoken. Narrative Fencing is how stories protect themselves. Not by arguing better, but by quietly shrinking the space where argument is allowed.

Practical Orientation

Walk the fence with curiosity rather than confrontation. Ask how a narrative would look from the outside. Change the angle instead of charging the gate. You are not trying to win. You are widening the field of what can be thought without people feeling personally attacked.
