Sy Ableman represents a nihilistic opportunism in the face of meaninglessness, who knows how to massage the rules we’ve agreed to. Larry‘s crisis comes from believing the rules are just and concrete, but Sy sees no true meaning, viewing everything through the art of the possible https://twitter.com/revolucienary/status/1252550453105221635">https://twitter.com/revolucie...

Even after everything Sy Ableman did, Sy Ableman died "A Serious Man" because he technically lived his life by the rules and was a successful member of the community and that& #39;s the only barometer society has

I think Sy Ableman as a character is in conversation with Anton Chigurgh, he& #39;s simply the mundane real-world example. "If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule? This is the best deal you& #39;re going to get."
