In the Psycheverse
Psyche uses folk tales and mythological narratives to activate conscience in listeners, particularly through stories where characters face consequences for ignoring their inner moral knowing. The Wise Bat tale exemplifies this: the king's conscience is awakened when confronted with a mirror of his own destructive impulses, showing how wisdom speakers use reflection rather than force to restore ethical alignment.
