You know, few people have ever actually been granted the privilege of seeing the Giant Pink Amoeba (GPA). It is only from the writings of those who have seen it, that we know it is pink…. and giant…. and in the image of an amoeba.
All of us, of course, have felt the impact of the GPA’s decisions, and, no doubt, the trials brought on by a failure to worship GPA with sufficient fervor. Oh, and snakes. The kind that plumbers use.
Anyway, amoeba because the sacred microbe in all it’s forms is the dominant life form on this planet, and pink because, well, sunsets are pretty?
So as to opacity vs translucency, one might look to the various forms of the microbe for guidance. However, I wouldn’t suggest you do that, lest you fall into the naturist heresy. Just because it is so in verifiable earth, does not mean it is so in unverifiable quantum flux. Existence being nonverifiable, heresy is everywhere. That’s also one of the reasons why wars are so common. It’s all about GPA.
Students, of course, are quite concerned about their personal GPAs. They are taught to have a personal relationship with GPA, a relationship that, they believe, will make them prosperous when they emerge in the real world. They are sadly disillusioned when they discover that personal GPA doesn’t matter, and only corporate GPA is important.
Houses of GPA being tax-exempt, all corporations seek to form as limited GPA translucencies. This is why corporations are considered GPA-less as they have fallen into the translucency heresy. They are, however, rich, except when GPA gets them back with, oh, bubbles of various kinds.
In times of yore, it was the tulip bubble, which was pretty, and, I might say, translucent. Later on, there were the bubbles we are more familiar with: the tech bubble, and the housing bubble (which are a bit more opaque, at least to me).
There is an emerging movement designed to reduce heresy and appease the GPA, in hopes that times will get better. It is not clear whether the GPA notices, as it is more concerned with the matters of microbia. Still, if humans can make enough noise, they can sometimes draw the attention of the GPA, although this can be dangerous, for if it is in a bad mood, legions of bacterial infections may spread throughout humanity. Except for the Uighur. For some reason, they never seem to get the bugs. Perhaps that is why others discriminate against them so much.
