all played by me Everyone knows Mario is super cool. But who knows what he's thinking? Who knows why he crushes turtles? And why do we think of him as fondly as the mythical (nonexistent?) Dr. Pepper? Perchance. I believe it was Clark who said "Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is intellectual play." Mario exhibits experience by crushing turts all day, but he exhibits theory by saying "Lets-a-go!" Keep, it up baby! When Mario leaves his place of safety to stomp a turty, he knows that he may be Vanquished. And yet for a man who can purchase lives with money, a life becomes a mere store of value. A tax that can be paid for, much as a rich man feels any law with a fine is a price. We think of Mario as a hero, but he is simply a one percenter of a more privileged variety of the lifekind.
