Joining the narrative.
What does it mean? It means adhering to a worldly search for truth. Worldly reality is very complex. It becomes impossible to adjust to it with complete control of it. Only a (small) part of it can be known and mastered through our personal knowledge.
That is why you need to adhere to a general tendency, You have to link to others who explain other parts you are not in a position to control directly. It's like talking about China without ever having been there and experienced it firsthand. To talk about China we will therefore have to adhere (adapt) to certain narratives (prevailing opinions) that explain China from the pre-vailing point of view. In other words, adhering to a narrative means adhering to that spirit (spiritual consistency) that keeps it alive because we know that to explain certain complex dynamics, we above all speak through the mouth of others and we are aware that what we say, very little is the result of our direct knowledge. The rest is siding with the general spirit of the time to which our personal and private spirit allows us to adapt to it.
In this sense veritas est adaequatio rei et intellectus.

After our adjustment has taken place, tough, if there is no constant critical activity from the subject, the subject finds itself subjected to the narrative and depends on it, as an army depends and is subjected to the will of the strategos or a family to the will of the head of the family.
