The world is not a rational place. If it were, the middle management layer would long since have solved the universe, reduced it to atoms, reconstructed it into an entirely binary model, devised the algorithm that will cater for any eventuality from now to the hereafter and therefore have done away with we cantankerous sacks of mortal flesh, allowing us to contemplate in richley specified detail on onrushing apocalypse, into whose arms we are categorically and unavoidably hurtling.

Alas the world cannot be so solved, so we are stuck with irrational, stupid things like non-fungible tokens, rehypothecation and performance appraisal (on the bad side) but on the good side we still have scope to resigned our world narratives to steer ourselves to a happier place.

So it is with fondness and gratitude that we catalogue just a few f the potty things with which we must deal on any day. They may drive us insane, they may make nonsense at all, but they vouchsafe our individuality and our belief in personal freedom.
