Who’da Thunk It Dialectic

Protagoras — Our Main problem is 50 million invaders, and we don’t know who they are.

Arefge — Here is my 100% secure ID card, do you want it?

Protagoras — Our other main problem is runaway inflation that steals our buying power.

Arefge — Here is my Bank Bill with Gold in the paper, do you want it?

Protagoras — Solving problems is useless, what’s fun is whining.

Arefge — What if I invented a megaphone that would make your whining very dolorous and inspire all persons to feel empathy for you — do you want it?

Protagoras — I would rather do senseless whining that causes people to feel contempt.

Arefge — OK then, I will stop trying to invent new and useful things for a backward, upside-down world.

Protagoras — I’m glad you learned your lesson.
