i don't get it


"We care less about things that are more complex. If we can't fit loss of lives into a simple narrative, we care less about them." -- Poly-sci dude from Yale, Jason Stearns, in an interview with NPR's Greenblatt.

Why would we care less about things that are more complex? Or more about simple narratives? Is that true? Why? ('simple narratives' seem more boring to me, among other things... so, I don't get it.)
