In "Corduroy Mansions," Manfred's actions resemble radio jamming, effectively silencing others. His interventions are not merely disruptive; they are strategically aimed at preventing meaningful dialogue and communication among those around him. This impacts the social dynamics in his environment, causing frustration and confusion among his peers.

The metaphor of radio jamming underscores the notion that communication requires openness and receptivity, qualities that Manfred lacks. His behavior illustrates how individual agendas can obstruct collective conversations, leading to a breakdown in relationships and community interactions, ultimately hindering understanding and collaboration.
