This modernism-parable was inspired by the arson-control civics-heroism film Backdraft!
====
Samuels wanted to learn about the modernism connections between corporate malfeasance and anarchy, so he travelled to the Himalayas to meditate to Shiva (Hindu god of destruction) and found the deity debating with a deadly fire-god named Anthrax.
SHIVA: There is no link between Wall Street and anarchy.
ANTHRAX: Fire tells us that NATO is simply a 'weapon.'
SHIVA: Fire is chaos, and we need credit cards...
ANTHRAX: Alright, but American Express is hypocrisy, no?
SHIVA: Maybe Wall Street will lead to World War III.
ANTHRAX: Yes, consumerism will breed 'moral annihilation.'
SHIVA: That's why we cherish fire-fighters.
ANTHRAX: Yes, they control the anarchy of 'accidental heat.'
Samuels walked up to Shiva/Anthrax and asked them if there was a direct connection between commercial greed and complete annihilation, and Shiva, surprised by the young man's curiosity about modernism, replied, "Yes...'capital arthritis'!" Samuels realized that Shiva was suggesting to him that fire-fighters represented a new age optimism toward 'traffic vanities.' It was a 'fine analysis.'
