The Eight Ways of Being

Stephen Carter and Jeremy Kourdi

Chapter Chapter Three in The Road to Audacity, 2003, pp 32-51 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Imagine this. You are on ‘The Vortex of Certain Death’, the latest fun ride at a major amusement park. Firmly strapped into your seat alongside one hundred other terrified, screaming people, you are being slowly pulled up to a great height. At the apex of your ascent you will then be turned rapidly through 720 degrees. Before you can orient yourself you then plummet through an enormous wall of fire. Hopefully emerging from the other side, you find yourself rushing at a seemingly fantastic speed towards what appears to be a formidable rock wall. As you bellow out an incoherent and terror-struck request for someone to stop the ride immediately, the ride itself executes another dizzyingly fast manoeuvre, misses the wall and comes to rest in a large, and until that point unseen, trough of water.
