Imagine that a Xenomorph (the fictional predatory creature from the Alien sci-fi horror film franchise) lands in Las Vegas, Nevada and begins to terrorize tourists/travellers enjoying casino related entertainment.

We could imagine such a 'terrifying invasion,' since our civilization (and species) seems focused on fortune-related 'consciousness' in the modern era (e.g., Wall Street, NASDAQ, McDonald's Monopoly, etc.).

How would the predatory Xenomorph prey on humanity's sensitivity regarding 'fortune-hunting' and 'risk-awareness' in a gambling-haven such as Vegas? Such 'couture-oriented' storytelling is endemic of modernism culture --- e.g., Bright Lights, Big City; Starman; K-PAX, etc.

How sensitive is our capitalism-subjective U.S. President (Donald Trump) about 'theosophical traffic'?

Two Western-world movie stars decided to go to Las Vegas for the summer of 2017 to unwind. The two 'celebrities' were ex-spouses trying to mend their broken marriage (Tom and Katie). When they arrived in Vegas, they met a mysterious beautiful Albanian princess named Stana who looked incredibly like an American movie actress (Anne Hathaway). Stana was travelling across America under an adopted identity (to conceal her royal status and 'mingle' with the general multicultural population). Tom and Katie immediately took to Stana who confided in them her secret identity. Tom, Katie, and Stana all sought a 'metaphysical experience' in Vegas to make them feel more optimistic about the 'celebrity-dystopia' of 'TrumpUSA.'

Another Vegas visitor, an ex-ISIS terrorist named Ajay Satan, was also in Vegas that summer. Having parted ways with his terrorist organization over methodological differences, Ajay retired from the world of politics-intrigue altogether and now simply wanted to travel around the world and write poetry. Ajay was at the Caesar's Palace casino-resort when he noticed Tom, Katie, and Stana walking by the floor. Ajay was immediately drawn to Stana who noticed him too (despite his big sunglasses, which he never took off). Ajay approaced Tom, Katie, and Stana who were playing roulette together. Tom and Stana were betting on the table together and doing well, while Katie was simply watching.

Ajay joined the game and invited Katie to bet with him, and she agreed, and soon the 'Vegas quartet' became a fun social 'unit.' They wandered around Caesar's Palace, enjoyed the lounge entertainment and complimentary drinks/beverages. They also got two expensive neighboring hotel-suites. Tom and Ajay became fast-friends, and Tom remarked to Ajay, "Vegas always draws a cross-section of the American and even global populace!" Ajay replied with a joke, "Maybe an alien from another planet or galaxy will visit Earth and land in Vegas!" Ajay's joke was eerily true. A Xenomorph (acid-filled predatory alien from the faraway planet of Xenon) just landed in the desert of southern California and was using a cloaking device to make himself invisible as he approached the lights and traffic of Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Xenomorph skulked around hotels and casinos, and soon there were reports of 10 deaths in just one weekend. All the victims were Vegas visitors in their hotel-rooms who were found with their heads literally corroded off their bodies (apparently by a lethal acid unknown to human scientists). Tom, Katie, Stana, and Ajay were terrified by the news and Ajay wondered if there really was an 'other-worldly' visitor in Vegas who wanted to prey on humanity's sensibilities regarding cosmopolitan traffic! Ajay suggested to Tom that he and Katie go to the East side of Vegas, while Ajay and Stana stayed on the West side of Vegas (to improve their chances for survival), and the four would stay in touch with their mobile phones.

As Duo One of the 'Vegas quartet' (Tom-Katie) prowled around the Eastern bloc of Vegas, Duo Two (Ajay-Stana) prowled around the Western bloc of Vegas. Meanwhile, the Xenomorph was busy preying on Vegas travellers in the central area of Las Vegas. The Vegas quartet heard news of 5 more death of Vegas visitors sitting in their hotel-rooms, and soon the city was crowded by FBI and the National Guard. The cloaked Xenomorph continued to prowl around Earth's favorite casino-city cloaked and invisible (and ravenous). Ajay came up with a brilliant plan (surmising that the alien was using a cloaking-device) --- he would use 4 dog-whistles (each member of the Vegas quartet would carry one!) to confuse the creature with auditory-signals from disparate areas and scare it away from Earth! The plan worked, and the 'Vegas quartet' parted ways and always remembered their 'Xeno-adventure' as a divine 'fitness experience.'

The Dollar Joke!

C'mon my friends! I thought I'd fans of Mars Attacks! (Tim Burton) here...

Let's just say I'd rather comfort myself with 'metaphysics storytelling' than say excessively nihilistic things like, "We've elected a token 'capitalism-scapegoat' president (Donald Trump)!"

Anyone a fan of Adam Smith?
