Zeno's escalation is a tongue-in-cheek iceberg entry: you keep getting closer and never arrive. In practice: a real joke about a real leak. Escalation has to land a beat — a kiss, a bounce, a door — not infinite approach.[1][2]
Method
- Pick a next beat and take it.
- If you always 'almost,' you are playing not-to-lose. See play to win.
Failure mode
The joke as an identity. Just escalate or don't.
