If you make it open source then they can steal it, too.
Why not look at it in positive light? If somebody steals it, they help you popularize the game and they show you another way to implement it.
Of course, first mover advantage, there is some truth to your worries. Still, should you quit because you don't find a way to implement the game, consider giving it a last chance by opening up the process.
If the majority of people cannot handle information on their own, how can we maintain democracy?
Are senior cititzens more stupid? Otherwise how do we know that we believe the right things, and not just what is acceptable by the mainstream which will change for the next generation?
For whatever reason I feel like Musk is waking up to the fact that people really reject his policies. If he is one of the masterminds that could mean that things change.
But it's more likely that those losses in sales were accepted sacrifices.
And yet, I cannot imagine that things can significantly get worse. The media and economy is controlled, the chat messages can be intercepted. What else could an authoritarian regime want? Why remove the illusion that people are free?
I rather think that the actions taken are just there to make the rightwing voters think that something is done. But their situation cannot improve. But there is also not much more chaos that can be created beyond cripling US producation capacities.
This only leaves bold foreign policy options. My guess would be that it's time for the Iran invasion.
If it's actually about creating authoritarianism then the next step is militarising the population. Create a 'work force' and have all unemployed people do manual communal work in groups. Also create a civil leader for every block or street.
To me, it seems that trauma is an essential tool to build our civilization. Trauma allows people to identify with trauma in other people, or situations in general. People without trauma see other people suffering and feel bad for them, but they cannot identify with them.
This is important for civilization because the processes of society have to be understood and sometimes have to be healed which requires that some people can identify with the problems.
So to have civilization, there needs to be a constant stream of trauma to have enough people who can show the problems so that we can fix the problems of society.
It's a bit circular that there are problems to fix problems.
Is it evil to cause that system of trauma? That depends on the answer of is it good to have civilization?
One teacher said she’d had 10-year-old boys “refuse to speak to [her]…because [she is] a woman”
Does this come from Tate? This could also be a child from a family with partiarchal values. Tate is not the only source of influence. But one incident shouldn't be part of an article because it is an exception.
What is the general reason for social development? The elite is creating the cirucumstances for change. Why? Divide and conquer.
On an individual level, masculinity makes sense because going to the gym and being confident makes life much more simple than trying to feel compassion with everybody. For boys, masculinity is the common denominator among all cultures. So in a multicultural society, that's what is going to be established as the fused culture of the next generation.
Girls have the same problems, but their answer, being pretty and doing makeup, doesn't cause trouble and is thus ignored.
To change this, new forms of education must be developed because math and geography don't teach the necessary skills to deal with this complex world.
This needs much more attention. I had the same impression, especially also about Tate. Why can google push topics without the general public feeling the threat for democracy? Who decides which topics are pushed and what is their agenda?
