Liar-paradox: The Grendel Game

A Story by Abishai100

An Earth-prince narrates his representation of a challenging exchange with a questioning Martian with image for photons-of-disaster.

Liar-paradox logic generates some computing for the cognition of communication/intelligibility-structure relevant for modern net-commentary/exchanges culture of Earth, and this invocative alien-comment yarn is inspired by K-PAX (Kevin Spacey). Happy Labor Day all,

I was working on a special Paris Summer Games examination of the value of net-age social representations of competition (women's gymnastics) as a male-fan of athletics of equal-gender imagery when I was contacted by a Martian (Mr. Endymion) who claimed he was a messenger like Grendel, as depicted by writer John Gardner, who depicted the leviathan-dragon 'being' from the iconic old-English folk-novel/story/poem Beowulf (a story about primal choreography of village-like 'IQ' for contention with a wild beast of adversarial presences) as a more cerebral 'analyst' of world consciousness and descriptive thinking for the Ego (hmmm). The Martian (Mr. Endymion) insisted his language-character concerned my Earthling Selfie-age of incomplete-distances readings to the uncertainties of globalism-rhetoric and the securities of sportsmanship (e.g., Olympics) representations for securities and the 'confidence' of Western banks (Facebook-like).

ENDYMION: I see you eating chocolate in front of your HD-TV on a Sunday.

ME: As if my Catholic citizenship status finds me lulled into entertainment.

ENDYMION: You guessed it, Earth-prince; indulgences afforded by contract.

ME: It's a negotiation...plush seating for performance-delivery (theater!).

ENDYMION: Sports is a competition-symbol for war itself, surely.

ME: When we play games with regulations and nonviolence, it's peace!

ENDYMION: You sit idly, eat chocolate, watch gymnastics on your TV.

ME: So?
ENDYMION: Rather predictable for capitalism's arms of convenience-IQ.

ME: Capitalism affords an Earth-man work-time and then play-space, no?

ENDYMION: Work-and-play for an Earth-prince...by capitalism (ha).

ME: Competition is candy for the uncertainties of teamwork, Endymion.

ENDYMION: There's always doubt in the universe of ABCD (hmmm).

The Martian was right in some ways. Competition was the sign of capitalism, and sports had become a TV-culture lifestyle 'consciousness' symbol of entertainment-delivery, for convenience-thinking (hmmm). Capitalism had afforded Earth-folks the right to the art of living through TV and media commentary culture/distances (sure!). It was a theory of games, of decisions for risk and rewards, for shared/choreographed competition by individuals and teams and nations (wow). I knew Endymion (the Martian) wanted me to think deeply now of the structure and complexity 'theories' of the image of contrast/duality on Earth (hmmm).
