But, Dude: What the hell are you talking about?

Joker: I'm a storyteller. That’s what I do.

Batman: What the hell are you talking about?

Joker: I tell stories. That’s what I do. That’s [how you say] money, that’s how I make money. That’s how I make a living. My source of income. And over time, I’ve acquired wealth. A lot of it.

Batman: What the hell are you talking about?

Joker: I can broadly categorize my wealth into two [how you say] conditional wealth — like money, securities, stock, investment, digital currency, and the second kind of wealth, the one we value, [how you say] the unconditional wealth — like a relationship between two people, between a mother and her son, among family members, teams, tribes, nationalists, ... We are our own little cohort so to speak (type 🤷‍♂). We don’t bring [how you say] money into our family [community, cult, religion — just labels 🤷‍♂]. We do things for people. We make their thoughts their wishes. And then we make those wishes come true. We don’t limit ourselves to the confines of the concept of money.

Batman: What the hell are you talking about?

Joker: We have our own [how you say] lawyers who handle all of our financials. They work with [how you say] paparazzi who follow us around, track us, itemize our interactions and monetize our transactions, and trade them in an open market to [how you say] the capitalists who run it, using [how you say] technology with a futuristic AI feature that has a 99.99% rumor filtering accuracy developed by a recently funded technology company. They do it for the whole family, all of us.

Batman: What the hell are you talking about? How big is your family?

Joker: We are [how you say] “separation of church and state”, yeah we don’t have any separation and we don’t even have a church. We don’t confine ourselves to your social norms of [how you say] religion. We are just a bunch of people who happen to be fanatics of this author, writer, creator, pioneer, entrepreneur, not-a-failure yet [not a winner either 🤷‍♂], storyteller. I just tell his stories.

Batman: Who the hell are you and what the hell are you talking about?

Joker: Don’t think of us as a cult, think of us more as a [how you say] “socialistic revolutionaries seeking utopia, waiting for an opportunity to overthrow #storygonewrong version of communism which’s oscillating between monarchy and anarchy.” 🤷‍♂

Batman: What the hell are you talking about?

Joker: What is a story?

A story is a journey of life. Let me break it down and build it back for you. It’ll make sense in a bit. Stick with me. Trust me.

A story is a journey of a person. It starts with describing the person, establishing the character, conveying his traits and behavior patterns, his interactions (relationships) with people around him, his routines. And then the journey starts. This person is put into a situation (that he walks into) along with more subjects like him. He reacts and/or responds to the situations he is in along with the people in those situations. There’s a lot of — past projecting onto the present in anticipation of the future. Like life. Ok, listen to this, picked it up from Jewel Kilcher, she says something along the lines of — fear robs you off of your present by projecting your past onto your future. Ok back to the journey of the person, and then at some point in time, the journey ends.

And that’s the end.

That’s it. The story is not obligated to have any specific [how you say] moral to take away at the end of it. It’s amoral, not to be confused with immoral. It doesn’t have anything. Nothing to take away from it. It’s not a transaction. There’s no transaction between the storyteller and the story listener. There’s no contract for a story. We don’t believe in the conditional kind of wealth. Just saying! 🤷‍♂

Batman: What the hell are you talking about?

Joker: The story starts at a point, lives on throught the course of the journey and it ends at another point. It’s finite. It starts, grows and evolves through its journey and then it ends. The story gives an opportunity to the characters to interact, grow, evolve, discover themselves along the way before the story ends. It’s the journey of those characters in the story.

Batman: What the hell are you talking about?

But: What the hell are you talking about? You can’t use established characters without getting a license or rights from the owners. You’d need to pay royalties to use those characters. You could be sued big time.

Dude: What the hell are you talking about?

But: But, Dude!
