It is important to warn ˹the disbelievers˺ and remind the believers about social norms, because of the need to coordinate people's behavior and promote cooperation. This is about meta-knowledge: information about the knowledge of other people. Without this kind of knowledge, no society can function. For example, it is not enough that we know which side of the road to drive on. We also need to make sure that other people know this. Stories ensure that all members of society know and follow the 'rules of the game.'
