Every nation has its legends who begin as flesh and blood people until stories evolve them into undefeatable, superhuman god-like legacies through time. With each passing century, they become more powerful, more immortal, and more unbreakable. Angela and Jessica dive into the Narrative of the Unbreakable Warrior to uncover justifications for hustle culture, breeds of nationalism, Donald Trump’s self-perception as a post-industrial revolution titan of industry, and how French knight Geoffroi de Charny boasts an Amazon author page 700 years posthumously for his endearing 1356 testament, “A Knights Own Book of Chivalry."

500 years from now, how will stories about our celebrities, heroes, and sports stars grow exponentially? Perhaps the Narrative of the Unbreakable warrior exists to advance our own ideas of progress. Perhaps also because it promises us immortality as a cure for our finiteness.
