Single Fish, Double Folly.
from A Stone in the Shoe Podcast Hosted by John Pebble
In this episode I explore why fishing—a hobby synonymous with patience and solitude—earns the title of “sport”, when that could only be true if two men try to catch the same fish. From the irony of manufactured scarcity in nature’s abundance to the existential absurdity of turning quiet reflection into a primal theatre of human rivalry, I unpack why we insist on grafting competition onto even the most meditative acts.
