How to capture a herd of wild pigs.
You build a single fence next to the [free] corn spot. The pigs notice the fence but ignore it - after all, their free corn is still there.Once they have gotten used to the fence, you build another to the side, connecting both fences at the end at right angles. Pour more corn. The pigs will learn to ignore that fence too. The free corn is still coming, so what's another fence? Then the fence on the opposite side goes up. More free corn. Then the final fence, but you leave the gate open. This will confuse the pigs, but only momentarily. They'll smell the free corn and that will be all that matters. So they'll go in to eat the corn. You shut the gate. Sense of Events: How democracies perish
