WHY NOT the Buddy Christ as a pool hustler?
ok, Dogma's theme of ---'ideas'-are-better-than-'beliefs'---
because they're more 'flexible' is not bad, ... but it's all 'in the head' stuff, flat-space rationality, ... like on a printed circuit board in a computer.
why not an upgrade to realworld 'inner-outer' space like in 'eightball'?
... where ---'making shape'-is-better-than-'making good shots'---
because it`s 'shape' that determines evolution and 'shots' are just tools
for opening up the opportunity space everyone needs to keep evolving.
the cool eightball player knows that if you put 'good shot-making' first
you screw up 'shape' and everything gets fucked up, ... you
'do it to yourself' - a.k.a. 'masturbation' in pool lingo.
since the 'Buddy Christ' was not into putting 'good shot-making' first
but was instead into 'making shape' to open up space for mary magdalen
and the whole crew, why not the 'Buddy Christ' as a pool hustler
who comes up against masturbating pros who can't stop themselves
from 'pulling off good shots' and snookering everyone in the process?
