In a Seinfeld episode where Costanza is dating a woman who looks like Jerry. He’s desperate for *any* narrative ground besides resemblance to Jerry, and lands on a shared tepid liking for chewing gum. “You don’t remind me of anybody and we love gum.” getyarn.io/yarn-clip/9995

It’s actually a good illustration of a heuristic for navigating FUD: go to the ground. FUD relies on subversive misuse of abstractions. Phenomenology to the rescue.
Interesting thing is that the specifics don’t matter. Any solid anchor in unincorporated narrative ground works.
