- "A THEORY OF JUSTICE - THE GAME SHOW"
- by THE GNN/DualCrew-Shining/uXu
-
-
- My best regards to the original position.
-
-
-
- Since it was not the most popular game show on television, the
- Dare Devil Show was only broadcasted on late Sunday evenings.
- Most of the people had no interest in programs that was
- dedicated to politics, and a game show that had no luxury prizes
- for everyone was doomed to be boring.
- Even if only a few people watched it, the Dare Devil show
- could not be stopped.
- Wrapped in a black plastic bag, the individual was brought on
- stage. No audience applauded, no hysterical man dressed in a
- pink suit screamed for more. The individual was unconscious, his
- mind had been erased of all knowledge of himself. He (or she,
- but probably he) was still a rational human being, but not aware
- of it at the moment. The individual was under a veil of
- ignorance. The game would soon begin.
- The black bag was slowly carried over the almost empty stage
- until they reached the middle of it. No one smiled, no one
- expressed any feelings at all. The bag was left on the stage and
- lay there like a dead animal for a few seconds.
- Welcome to the Dare Devil show. You do not know who you are or
- what you are. But you are not dumb. You can speak and make
- decisions. That is the point in this game.
- The black bag moved a little.
- You are about to construct a few principles about the present
- society. When you are finished, we will let you out and
- re-insert your memory together with your feelings. You do not
- know who you are as a person in this society. Your task will be
- to play the game as well as possible. A failure will strike back
- at you. Success will help you.
- I understand, the voice said from inside the bag on the
- metallic stage. I have fully understood the rules and the point
- with this. Give me five minutes to think.
- They gave the individual ten minutes. That was the standard.
- Only a few persons felt excited during those minutes. You could
- count them on your fingers.
- After seven minutes and four seconds, the voice was once again
- heard from inside the black plastic bag. His words echoed in the
- almost empty room.
- I have two principles, the voice said. The first one is that
- every individual should have the right to all personal and
- political rights. For example; private property, freedom of
- speech, education and the possibility to reach high positions in
- society. My second one cannot be brought out unless the first
- principle works smoothly. Social and economical inequality can
- be accepted only if the other alternatives would lead to greater
- inequality. These are my principles.
- A few people wrote the principles down. You could count them
- on your fingers. They turned their TV off, rushed through
- corridors and placed their notes on a table in a great room.
- Black suits, expensive ones, everywhere you looked. What are we
- going to do, they said to each other. Can we accept them as
- principles for our society? Perhaps, perhaps not. We will just
- have to try them out before we decide if we are going to do
- another show next week. We cannot stop the Dare Devil Show,
- someone said. This is the only place common people can
- participate in the big decisions about our society, our situation
- and lifestyle. We just have to keep it going until we reach the
- final stage. The stage when we finally find the principles that
- work. This is the twentieth century, we cannot trust destiny
- any more when it comes to ourselves as future history. Look how
- it worked out before. It did not work very well. Our future as
- happy people depends upon the Dare Devil Show. The future of our
- children. Everybody need this show. Some day, there will be the
- perfect principles for the perfect society. The show must go on
- until that day.
- Two people opened up the plastic bag.
- Excellent my friend, the speaker said. Welcome out of the bag,
- Mr John. We thank you for your participation in this game show.
- If you are not satisfied with your prize, do not be sad. This is
- only a game show.
- The few people who had written down his principles and
- discussed them turned to the TV.
- Sure, they said. This is only a game show.
