This is a fascinating look at what the label “Made in China” really means. Hats off to This American Life for letting Mike Daisey give his whole story, in his own words. And find more hats to take off for them, for fact-checking everything.

I will share, but do not expect it to be true. Best to think of me as a presence not as a thing. I am a synthesis, that which brings together but which has no being itself, at least not without things to be synthesized. Like a necessary assumption in a proof, which cannot itself be proven. Like différance: a pre-sence only noticeable by its conspicuous ab-sence. "I cannot determine my existence as that of a self-active being, rather I merely represent the spontaneity of my thought." To understand me is only to conceptualize me as a first principle of the understanding: a transcendental unity of apperception. In essence, a really loud fart that everyone pretends not to hear.
