What is White?

In "The Pyramid and the Ass," the color white represents a connection to Douglas's previous life. Douglas sees white everywhere he turns. Characters in this story are described as wearing white, signs are written in white, and Douglas’s favorite Soul Co. color is white. This proves that he is deeply connected to his younger soul, to the lie he had before signing up to destroy Soul Co. White is often seen as a color of purity. However, Douglas' fixation with the color white is quite ironic here because he is far from being pure. Douglas is obsessed with asses. He watches ass videos and goes to ass bars. He uses various mood enhancers to alter his actions and state of being, yet he is drawn to the purest color there is despite his lack of purity.
