Putting the "meta" in "Betaphors".

Betaphors are like modern art which is like Portal.  

Transcendent!  The world has never experienced something that so makes it question itself/genre/boundaries before.  Everything is torn wide open.  Literally--space-time continuum, unzipped.  

The use of color, and shape, and GUNS.  

And you can open a blue portal next to you, and an orange portal on the opposite wall.  

You can see yourself.  

You're looking at yourself.  

Over and over and over again infinitely.  Everything you're doing, you're now acutely aware of it. Times eternity.  

And you can shoot a blue portal on the ceiling and an orange one on the floor and fall forever.  





Betaphors are like the cake is a lie.  

You wouldn't keep reading without tasty morsels of mind-blowing WISDOM dropped throughout to keep you smacking your lips.  

Which means that the cake is here, though.  And also not lies.  Plus you're eating in the same way that I'm using you by having you read all of these morsels.  

Which serves me by... it's like an enormous experiment in the human capacity to learn--


What?  


Of course they're metaphors!  Metaphors + Beta = Betaphors.  


What's a simile, like some sort of half-assed metaphor?  


It's exactly like that?  


Like like?  Like what?  What are you doing to me?  


A simile is like a metaphor... but a metaphor is a simile?  


Like hell I don't understand what you're saying!  The cake is a lie is a metaphor AND a betaphor now, thanks to me, yes.
