Came up with a very airport-business-book type of parable for conveying a lot of my opinions. In life a lot of decisions are like choosing between aisle, middle, and window seats on a plane.

Widebody planes are the worst of course, since there's a middle of the middle kinda deal. This has no redeeming qualities and you have to watch TV. It's developed world middle class. If you have $, you can be in first class, with both a view and convenient bathroom access.

Meta-comment.... Something really depressing about "business class" parables and metaphors. They are very mechanical/instrumental. You don't get more insight out of them than you put into them.

Now I want to write a full-on ironic slim airport-business-book called "Choose the Window Seat" arguing that you should always choose window seat when you can in life. It will be 1/2" thick pocket sized hardcover with yellow cover and cartoon cover art. 14pt double spaced text.

So naive! The best seat is window because you can sleep by leaning against the wall. This works much better on Airbus than Boeing, something about the curve of the wall.

There’s a message for your book here about how what matters is neither the view, nor your other passengers, but SLEEP...
