Its almost like 'how will my post effect the world, LETS FIND OUT...'
also a lot of people treat stuff like this as a game to some degree but eventually they come to the conclusion consciously or not that it was unsatisfying intellectual masturbation that they can't even orgasm with
because really there's no end-game or end result to this
it's just a post
it's less than a game
man eagleman you sure are a pessimist. do you still want to be a mod? I'm beginning to think you're being a little bitter about it, and I am also beginning to think Dave is abandoning us. Which is stupid, but it's his site, so if he wants it to rot, so be it.

that is it.
you can make it a game. You can win it. It's your decision to do what you want.
Life is about choices 'n' shit.
You can make life a game too. It's moves, counter-moves, forced moves.
I'm actually quite hopeful for the next set of generations: kids who grow up from parents who were completely fucked over by their
parents will by and large, not fuck over their children's future because of you know, unconditional love and technology and shit.
The 1910-20 era bore the "Greatest Generation", and they were a bunch of drug-addict binging romantics who freaked out about evolution and banned alcohol, and then their rich people broke their stock market and destroyed their economy, forcing children to grow up in tough circumstances and understand them as they grew up, right as World War II started. Then they implemented the Marshall Plan and boomed the economy in the 50s. Then they started having our parents and grandparents. Boom and bust. The GI Bill. Social Security. Lots of things conspired against the generations to come.
But it doesn't change the fact that technology keeps getting better in exponential leaps, so we keep minimizing problems except when they are needed, so I'm optimistic.
