References/Notes:
- This story is adapted by me from a Sufi story, and I am compelled to mention that Sufis assert that their teaching stories contain multiple layers of meaning, many of which lie deeper than the surface or obvious ‘moral’ or ‘punch line’ of the tale. See Idries Shah’s The Commanding Self.
- See Taleb’s wonderful book Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder.
- Wolff’s Law.
