This is a hypothetical exchange between Shiva (Hindu god of destruction) and the Xenomorph (fictional predatory alien-species from the iconic Alien sci-fi horror-film series) about capitalism ethos (in terms of philosophical boundaries).
Shiva represents self-control, while the Xenomorph represents terrorism. Is malice real?
It's also a continuation of a Shiva-Xenomorph post I wrote about capitalism culture.
====
SHIVA: Wall Street sometimes creates sharks...
XENOMORPH: Terrorists hate capitalism for its piracy.
SHIVA: Modern-day terrorism is mostly fundamentalist-Islamic.
XENOMORPH: True; I wonder what these terrorists think of video-games!
SHIVA: I'd imagine that they think consumerism/toys create apathy/sloth.
XEOMORPH: I wonder if these terrorists truly despise capitalism!
SHIVA: I'd wager there's some real malice among some terrorists.
XENOMORPH: How can you dissociate malice from Machiavellian dissection?
SHIVA: Malice involves a great deal of bias...
XENOMORPH: Many consider terrorists 'freedom-fighters.'
SHIVA: When the political grudge is legitimate, that's true.
XENOMORPH: Correct; American revolutionaries were portrayed as terrorists by Britain.
SHIVA: Yes, 4th of July symbolizes both nationalism and revolutionary fervor!
XENOMORPH: Can you downplay the angst towards consumerism-sloth (e.g., Burger King)?
SHIVA: No; cholesterol-culture is a malady of American society...
XENOMORPH: Yes, many American women are obese!
SHIVA: Perhaps the gambling features of capitalism create doubts/paranoia.
XENOMORPH: There must be a link between paranoia and malice...
SHIVA: That sounds like a reasonable theory for psychologists.
XENOMORPH: In that case, let's endorse Monopoly (Parker Brothers).
SHIVA: Yes! That's a popular real-estate oriented capitalism-themed board-game.
XENOMORPH: It's now an Apple iPhone app/video-game (which many play!).
SHIVA: I wonder what ISIS terrorists think of Apple Computers and Steve Jobs!
XENOMORPH: I'd imagine they consider Apple a 'lucky-charm' of capitalism...
SHIVA: I'm a big fan of the Leprechaun series of American horror-films.
XENOMORPH: Yes, Lubdan the leprechaun symbolizes pure depression.
