Labubus are sold in blind boxes, so you don’t know what you’re getting until you open it. Labubus are the new recipients of my platonic love.’ I tell the man of the house. ‘In Plato’s ‘Symposium’, Socrates says love for a person makes you vulnerable. They may leave or die. But loving a concept: astronomy, justice, literature can’t hurt you. It won’t leave. That is the origin of the term ‘platonic love’, by the way. Labubus can’t love you back but they can’t leave you either. Unless they are stolen. Hey, should we insure our Labubus,’ I ask. ‘Does this Labubu chap also sell blind boxes for new wives,’ he says with a sigh.”
