What if a story could be modified dynamically in order to maximize the chance that it moves you? Or to deepen its impact? I figured that’s what the GP post was getting at.

Just more tools for geniuses to use to move us and move us more deeply.

It makes a lot of sense, and though what I say may sound a bit ridiculous, I don't think most people are capable of making such decisions. They'd rather have some mindless entertainment than moving stuff (we already know this from what's shared on social media, and how TV news and reality shows thrive).
