Cyclonus-Rodimus: A.I. Capitalism Demonology

[Abishai100]

This is a capitalism-ethos meditative dialogue between two fictional A.I. robots, Cyclonus (Machiavellian 'Devil's Advocate') and Rodimus (pro-democracy 'commerce knight') from the modernism pop-culture entertainment/media franchise Transformers (Hasbro).

I think this is the perfect dialogue for our commerce-centric 'TrumpUSA.'

Cheers,

CYCLONUS: God is a coward...
RODIMUS: No one is 'free' from fear!
CYCLONUS: How do you know?
RODIMUS: Even 'imaginary' warriors meditate about humility!
CYCLONUS: An objective warrior thinks about any obstacle, including arrogance...
RODIMUS: Everyone is a 'warrior' in one way or another.
CYCLONUS: Perhaps, but everyone 'dreams' of being a 'perfect warrior.'
RODIMUS: There's nothing humiliating about labor...
CYCLONUS: Efficiency creates confidence, however.
RODIMUS: There's a difference between efficiency and 'short-cuts.'
CYCLONUS: Few people enjoying themselves in Vegas believe that.
RODIMUS: Gambling is a recreational activity which stirs thoughts about risk-courage.
CYCLONUS: No one likes losing at poker!
RODIMUS: Perhaps, but everyone enjoys 'harm-free' risk-calculation games.
CYCLONUS: There's a difference between entertainment and imagination...
RODIMUS: That's not necessarily true in capitalist systems.
CYCLONUS: Capitalism/consumerism creates 'creativity consciousness' (e.g., Wall Street).
RODIMUS: Perhaps gambling is creative, but risk-avoidance is instinctual.
CYCLONUS: Are you suggesting that capitalism creates gluttony?
RODIMUS: I'm merely suggesting that risk always 'implies' rewards...
