The narrative fallacy refers to our tendency to construct stories around facts, which in love for example may serve a purpose, but when someone begins to believe the stories and accommodate facts into the stories, they are likely to err.

I first came across the narrative fallacy when I read The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

As an argument against the likes of communism, the narrative fallacy was obvious, but I never thought it would apply to any form of libertarianism until I came across:

In retrospect, I now see my naivety, but I am unable to find the right words to support the claim that: libertarianism is an example of the narrative fallacy.

Are all human ideologies and philosophies examples of the narrative fallacy?
