Food for thought
the south indian monkey trap consists of a hollowed-out coconut chained to a stake. the coconut has some rice inside which can be grabbed through a small hole. the hole is big enough so that the monkey's hand can go in, but too small for its fist with rice in it to come out. the monkey reaches in and is suddenly trapped by nothing more than his own value rigidity. he can't revalue the rice. he cannot see that freedom without the rice is more valuable than capture with it. the villagers are coming closer to get him and take him away. they are coming closer closer! now!
what general advice would you give the monkey in circumstances like this?
bringing me to his kingdom.
