31. Crackers f'real

There's an essay by James Thurber in which he talks about the concept of the Hegelian dialectic. He says that it reminds him of a scene in a Marx Brothers film. In that film (Animal Crackers) they need to solve a theft. Groucho says that he thinks that the stolen item is hidden in the house next door. Chico says that there is no house next door. Groucho says that then they'll build one.

Thurber says that this is the technique of dialectic. Thesis: The stolen item is in the house next door. Antithesis: There is no house next door. Synthesis: We'll build a house next door.

THESIS - ANTITHESIS - SYNTHESIS

Scapegoats are the SYNTHESIS part
