This week - do we really want the truth? What would we do with it? Better a comfortable lie, right? Consider, if you will, the existential anguish of the “extensive menu” - do we get incapacitated by indecision the more options we are given? What would you prefer, Mike’s Spam Egg & Chips, Spam and Chips or just plain Spam OR will you go for Danny’s 150 dish tasting menu with a selection of starters and deserts? Will you be lusting after what other people have ordered once the food arrives anyway? Is ethics simply a matter of smacking people over the nose with a rolled up newspaper when they pee on the carpet? Listen in carefully and hear Mike doing covert research as he types out a search string into Google to check his facts. Why do things matter? How do we win? Me? I’m off to count my toys.
