ok maybe i'm just dumb but i don't "get" the second part of this parable?

the bit that comes after the image.

so he now goes against both traffic regulations and common sense on purpose. isn't that just as dumb?

and then the gong falls on the street? or does he push them in front of the cars? why does this cause the sound of enlightenment?

Hitting the gong with the car is what causes him to hear the gong "through time and space" in the earlier part of the story.

And yes, I think it is just as dumb, but the drive to Aftermath can be like that sometimes.

oooooooh ok now i get it

really i read that last sentence at least five times and just couldn't picture the scene. it might not have helped that i was confusing "pavement" with "sidewalk", though. (just realized that)

I see it this way ... the moment of enlightnement is in the paradox that the same lesson was taught on both sides of the Eristic and Aneristic motivation. The note that he ALWAYS drove like that is no different than NEVER driving like that and being held by a thin cord ... same cord, different pole ...

so the first moment of "enlightenment" when the gong sounded in the basement was simply a demarkation point on the journey from exploring the Aneristic life to the Eristic life. But perhaps true enlightment is not achieved until poor NoPants is killed at the sound fo the second gong, the story does not say.

I dare to dream that in this case ... 2 gongs can make it right ....

(ooooh, i'm gonna pay for that last line, but I couldn't resist)

Nah, I've pretty much desensitized them to the punnery.

Cool.  Actually it looks like Syn's tied up anyway.  I haven't seen him around the board in a couple of days.

He's staying on top of his hill, so he doesn't get drownded by the floods.

Floods?  Did he try to get in contact with The Mgt again?

I'm too scared to investigate further.

Not that I'm in too much danger of floods myself, but, well you know....
