Tech utopianism is always “one more time technology itself will spontaneously overcome political economy and society will be reordered so i’m not just an unrigorous nerd socially programmed by californian pseuds”; tech pessimism is always “the society shattering thing i’m addicted to was DIFFERENT”.

Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.
Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.
An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.
We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

my idea for lowering costs: increase supply
their idea for lowering costs: i really dont know maybe reduce demand what if more people died earlier or didt go to the doctor

it's so funny we don't do obvious things to reduce healthcare costs like pay for people to go to medical/nursing school etc.

Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

The problem with computer jobs is that it's all in your head. You can't touch or eat the code you write, it's too abstract. You need to find something to make with your hands if you want to stay okay
