The city for conlangs

football : soccer

• football -> man + Tor {de} + rinn' {de} (-> rein -> to score a goal) -> mentoring

"Changing your location continually in order to get (-> understand) the ball and then to kick it away from you, preferrably so that (even) a goal ^[1] (-> Tor {de} -> fool) gets (-> understands) it."

street game : "outside a house" + game ^[2]

Hypothesis: Assume somebody with a lot of money was bribing people (everybody) to fool you, whereever you go. To the people that may sound like a harmless but expensive joke with an obvious solution (use up the funds) while to you it may seem dangerous. (as in The Game). A good solution may seem to be visible to as many people as possible and to hand out information. (as in the final scene of It Could Happen to You ^[4]: a balloon flying over New York, distributing paper). This hypothesis reveals some shortcomings of capitalism, when left unrestrained.

^[1] Kicking the ball towards your own goal (-> objective) is called an Eigentor (own goal) because something designed to teach the Categorical Imperative is likely to disprove personal goals.

^[2] Policemen who appear to abuse their office (and, indirectly, the Monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force) and health professionals who appear to abuse their office, even if neither of them does so in a legal sense, should be impossible because they may motivate self-administered justice and self-medication, both in direct opposition of the goals of their offices. ^[3] Self-administered justice may be a metaphor for anarchy: ("a society that requires adult behavior"). (Unethical metaphor)

^[3] Many problems involving collective intelligence can also be interpreted as problems testing for Theory of mind: Can you imagine the point of view of the other, even when that may significantly differ from your point of view in your everyday life?

^[4] I didn't watch anything but the final scene so don't complain if it's a waste of time.

[edit] Mentoring

• There are 11 to + Tor {de} (-> tutors) on each side.
• There is a man in the Tor {de} (-> mentor)
• The umpire is an idiot (-> dump -> hollow -> Lehrer {de} -> teacher)

[edit] Observations

• A very adequate place to play ball is in the proper subject(s) in school.
• Football is a ball game.
• There is an Elfmeter ^[1] (Penalty kick).
• There is a break in the middle of the game.
• There are 2 goalkeepers (-> Torwart {de} -> Tor {de} + wach {de} -> fool ^[2] + awake)
• Football stars get high wages for playing a game. (-> isle ^[3])

^[2] judgemental language

^[3] this isle is, more or less, democratically sanctified by the football fans ^[4]

^[4] In the movie Tron "user-worshippers" are programs. ^[5]

^[5] If you take this seriously you could deduce a moral obligation not to pay GEMA (and consequently GEZ) fees (at least as long as the music and movie industries can't avoid to produce stars).
