Game (of Phenotype)

Game (of Phenotype)

A Story by Abishai100
"

Two billiards pals (rivals) exchange image/ideas about fortune-and-superstition views for a capitalism reflection worth a fields thermal and cheer.

"
Simple tale of how a game may offer imprints of Earthling theosophy for the Ego, inspired loosely by Pawn Sacrifice (Ed Zwick).

====

AMLAN: Simple game; I've taken the final 4 balls following your final miss.
MARCUS: Sticks and angles and alignments and rates-of-targeting (Ego).
AMLAN: Perchance billiards/pool is a light for all things causal (simplified).
MARCUS: We've become pool-pals but with differing consciousness!
AMLAN: You've inherited your fortunes, while I earned mine (Wall-St.).
MARCUS: We're ideal rivals and philosophers-of-exchange (for the Ego!).
AMLAN: Ha (Color of Money fan, pal?).



AMLAN: I made $15M on Wall-St. during the 2009 mini-crash (Ford).
MARCUS: I inherited my fortunes (New England) from French ancestry!
AMLAN: I consider upward mobility a hallmark of capitalism's image (USA).
MARCUS: I find pockets of activity-interest reflection for luxury-vanities.
AMLAN: Good for a qualia thermal (Selfie-like).
MARCUS: Fan of Other People's Money, pal?
AMLAN: Ha, Facebook-like.



AMLAN: We're contrasting reps of fortune-and-superstition, Marcus.
MARCUS: Our close pool-game, coming down to final 2 turns, is good IQ.
AMLAN: Like that scene in Trading Places when the two bud-tycoons argue!
MARCUS: I like thinking of causal-image (billiards) as risk-speculations.
AMLAN: Good for ale...I prefer to keep causal-image as speedy-fun.
MARCUS: You must be into magnetism...I find interest in pulleys.
AMLAN: That's cool...the Super Bowl TV-revenue culture is a pulley-motion.
MARCUS: How's that, Amlan my friend?
AMLAN: Well, access to capitalism's profit-mark symbols is gravity, surely.
MARCUS: Fan of Bring it On?



"Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about" (Ralph Waldo Emerson).
