I recently came across [TheCodelessCode](http://thecodelesscode.com/case/61), a collection of kōan/parables about the art and politics of software engineering. It's a fantastic blog/comic/thing, even for those not familiar with programming (there's a marker at the top right that scales how "geeky" the topic is), and it made me realize I'd really love to see something similar for rationality.

Does anyone know of anything like that? The closest I can think of are a few of the sequences and short stories on LessWrong that have the same feel of mixing antiquity with modernity.
