The author reflects on a recent cooking experience where neglecting to prick potatoes didn't lead to an explosion, but rather resulted in an unexpectedly better dish. This incident drives a broader discussion about the arbitrary rules we follow in life, suggesting that often they stem from unfounded fears. The author connects these ideas to therapy, emphasizing the importance of creating a space for self-discovery and allowing individuals to explore and express their thoughts meaningfully, much like the silent environment in psychoanalysis that fosters personal narrative.
Before you can start building, you have to be able to see what is right in front of you and that can be harder than it sounds.
Big fork has been playing on our unconscious terror of exploding spuds, making us follow unexamined rules in life.
