I think it might be interesting to discuss how story analysis differs from signalling analysis since I expect most people on Less Wrong to be extremely familiar with this. One difference is that people are happy to be given a story about you even if it is imperfect so that they can slot you into a box. Another is that signalling analysis focuses on whether something makes you look good or bad, while story analysis focuses on how engaging a narrative is. It also focuses more on how cultural tropes shape perspectives—ie. the romanticisation of bank robbers.
