Can we coordinate pluralism-politics storytelling with media in the modern age?
This will be one of the challenges of the Trump Administration.
What do you think of this short-story (inspired by the film The Peacemaker)?
====
Damien grew up in West Lebanon, New Hampshire. He was of Algerian descent and read Frantz Fanon and was an admirer of the Algerian Revolution film Battle of Algiers. After graduating from Dartmouth College (with a degree in psychology), Damien moved to Lebanon, which borders Syria and Israel, so he could use his understanding of psychology to serve as a counsellor of sorts to the developing Sunni-Shia troubles brewing there. Damien wanted to be Catholic priest and use his appreciation of divinity and its link to human psychology to aid the people in Lebanon challenged by the differences between Sunnis and Shiites (two major differing 'sects' of Islam).
Damien took up a small position in Lebanon as a history-scribe, working at a major library connected to a university there. He would also provide spiritually-optimistic editorials to the local gazette about the potential for civil debates between the Sunni and Shiite population in Lebanon. Damien had built up a reputation of being a real 'progressive priest' figure in Lebanon, and every Sunday, he led a special faith-ministry at a local Christian church in Lebanon, talking about how Sunni-Shia relations and differences should be respected by the Western world and by the people of Lebanon, so perhaps the U.S. President (Donald Trump) would continue to seek commercial relations between America and Lebanon.
Damien met a young software engineer and video-game designer named Ali in Lebanon, and together, they started developing a special SimCity adapted game for PC platforms which enabled players to enact Sunni-Shiite debates and simulation politics scenarios between the Lebanese government and the Trump Administration regarding Sunni-Shia relations. The game would earn Damien and Ali the Nobel Peace Prize, and Damien was thrilled that he was able to use his training in psychology and his interest in divinity to contribute to the community life of the people of Lebanon challenged by Sunni-Shia 'troubles.' Damien then met a beautiful Arabic woman named Bianca (whose mother was Sunni and father was Shiite) and they decided to marry. It was a modern-day pro-humanism success story.
