sport of sacred spherical cowsSitting with how the lyrics of #Inpatient's "Down the Road" puts a finger on how a Faustian bargain is not the Frostean bargain:
"But just know that you
Got a fucking deal with the devil written
So shut up and listen or play me some blues
And just know the choice that you made today'll be
The last thing that you ever choose"
This is Faustian bargain. Where Frostean bargain is never just the one choice, but rather a hyperbolic-and-a-half Broshan "All the Choices": social, rather than individual, contract that promises all the choices for having made all the retrospectively "right" choices.
