Story Time


Once you start telling stories your control over how they will be understood is over. Now you might take the precaution of explaining what the story means and guide the interpretation that way. Nevertheless if you are in a living tradition your propaedeutic precautions will not still contrary voices. Barry Lam’s story on Daily Nous about the man who wants to upgrade his sound system can be taken as a parable of indiscernible difference, the sorites paradox that might drive him back to his sub optimal buzzy speakers.

However as anyone who has ever tried to sell anything that isn’t rubbish, a good product at a very reasonable price; if it isn’t selling your best strategy is to put up the price. It’s the sleight of the invisible hand. Buy the magic wire, you idiot.
