Quine's "Web of Belief" metaphor. I think we construct our reality from the moment we're born. Meaning that as we encounter ideas and observations, we connect them in our brains in such a way as to produce a stable structure (a web) that represents reality.

This is in part why I believe the best way to change someone's mind or perspective, isn't to present them with data and information, it's to construct a custom chunk of web that can integrate into and reshape theirs.
So is this Quine's Web idea just the flavor of the month or is their real science behind it?
Also if your all about telling a story to construct a web "chunk" as you claim why didn't you even attempt that at all in your post?
