Is a figure of speech about how
By trying to rectify some situation
You can actually make it worse.
But if you have dementia you might
Say the fox guarding the fox house
Or some such gobbledygook which
Defeats the whole purpose of it.
Or does it? Albert Einstein said
You can't solve a problem with
The same thinking that created
The problem in the first place
So the fox guarding the fox house
Could pertain to that specific type
Of muddleheaded thinking which is
A not insignificant type for all that.
The Talmud asks who is wise and
Then it answers he who learns from
Everyone so let us bear that in mind
On Rosh Hashanah 9/15, shall we?!
Ed. Note: L'shana tovah!
