Shiva-Ganesha: Capital DreamWorks

[Abishai100]

This is a modernism-values mock-discussion between Shiva (Hindu god of destruction) and his ingenious son Ganesha (Hindu master of wisdom and strategy).

This dialogue was inspired by the films Toys and Taps.

SHIVA: My son, I've purchased a colorful Lakers wristwatch for you!
GANESHA: I don't want anymore toys, father...
SHIVA: Why? Toys are consumerism 'trophies' and foster imagination!
GANESHA: I have other worries now, since I'm an adult...
SHIVA: I suppose you dream you're some kind of warrior now!
GANESHA: There's no reason to doubt it...
SHIVA: What are you talking about? I've secured peace with my trident.
GANESHA: Really? The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is still 'controversial.'
SHIVA: I can't cure the problem of capitalism frailty.
GANESHA: That's why we talk about contracts only.
SHIVA: Contract-evaluation is useless without political philosophy.
GANESHA: Pedagoguery is not as important as labor...
SHIVA: I think there is value in poetics!
GANESHA: That's surprising to hear from, given you're a 'master of destruction.'
SHIVA: One can not destroy without appreciating the value of creativity.
GANESHA: My generation will solve the problem of capitalism-biased fascism.
SHIVA: Let's see if Toys 'R Us and Facebook can cure humanity of gluttony!
GANESHA: That sounds like a challenge for Nickelodeon.
SHIVA: I have no problem with the 'new generation,' but kids need to embrace art.
GANESHA: Wearing a Lakers wristwatch will not improve my 'Marxist mood,' father!
SHIVA: Capitalism-critique is your inheritance, my son, so study the World Bank.
GANESHA: I will study everything relevant to my inquiries regarding capitalism-criminality.
