“When you talk about humans, the only thing I understand is fish ball theory.”I said, trying to follow Bensimon in his conversation.
“Fish ball theory – ah – saying that when you wouldn’t want to improve so that everyone is equal. You want everyone to sink to your level to achieve equality. You mean this fish ball theory?” Bensimon asked curiously, and I saw that his mood has lighten up a bit.
“Yes that fish ball theory. Humans never want to improve anything. Or if everyone improved, it would be the same as not improving.”
Bensimon thought for a while, “but for you I supposed you lived in a bubble. So the only thing that affects you is the Capsule Egg Toy theory.”
“What would that be?” I asked.
“Say you were at the shop trying to buy capsule egg toy. You look at the advertisement that showed you the set of toys that was available inside the eggs. So you inserted 10 dollar, and you got a toy – It’s the one you hate most in the set. You tried again – again, it’s the one you hate the most in the set. You tried one last time – It’s the one you hate the second most.”
“That sounds hopelessly negative.”
“But it’s very real.” Bensimon said. “When you buy Capsule Egg toys. You know what the bottom line is, you are getting something, but it’s always the most bad luck item under the safety net of the set.”
“You know, I have a theory too. It’s the Eggball theory. You know you eat egg balls, and it’s always so crispy outside and soft inside when you take the first bite, and everything is just most perfect at that first bite. But then it always gets colder and tasteless later.”I said, I was happy to see Bensimon was back in his realm that he was comfortable in, the intellectual realm of abstract and useless ideas that guided his life. After we went hiking, we went to a party room to play boardgames, read books, watch TV dramas. Bensimon looked like he was at home, and I felt less worried. I felt more calm during my studies the next day.
