    Which computer games strike you as philosophical (philosophically interesting/engaging/make you think long after you finished playing them?

    Rather than failed politicians and has-beens like Tony Blair, or current politicians and their spin, who should we be listening to? Who are the people we can learn from? (who should we be paying to hear talk?)

    I'm kind of stunned that a failed politician like David Cameron, who gambled flippantly and lost, has made £1.63m on speaking engagements and book deals since his lost Brexit vote. What is the value of what he has to say? What can this person tell us other than "Don't do this"?

    In this game, A Short Hike, I am a bird who is bored and on vacation and my only real objective is to find a place that has cellphone reception. Other than that, you can explore and do fun stuff on the island. I love games like this.

    So obviously, he is put to the test when he stays over one night at Maud, a friend of his friend Vidal. She's an atheist freethinker, and challenges his views. I love how the movie exemplifies many of us (not just Catholics ) are wagering when making life choices /end

    His faith is put to the test when he ends up with Maud, who is clever and attractive, and is snowed in at her house. His friend leaves, leaving him alone with Maud (and her child, who goes to bed). 12/

    The one thing that Jean-Claude, who is now committed to Catholicism, would give up is romantic flings. But he says he's never been put in a difficult situation where his faith is to the test. 11/

    Vidal is a Marxist atheist, says he buys into Pascal's wager. Hypothesis A: history makes sense. Hypothesis B: history is meaningless. Even if the prob(H_A) were only 10%, he needs to wager on it. If H_A is correct, he'll have wasted his life if he has not wagered on it. 10/

    What he objects to is Pascal's austerity. Pascal even gave up mathematics, a big passion of his. Jean-Claude doesn't think you need to give up all that much to be Catholic. You don't need to give up fine wine, or math as a passtime (he enjoys both) 9/

    Jean-Claude, the Catholic engineer says to his friend Vidal that he didn’t think much of Pascal, that he was disappointed. Which is ironic, as he has basically wagered to be a Catholic. You see this from the start of the movie, where he attends mass. 8/

    The story centers around Pascal’s wager. Pascal is mentioned and quoted explicitly throughout. This may seem terribly niche for a movie, but French adults have all gotten philosophy in high school, and would know Pascal. 7/

    Already you can see this in start of movie where protagonist attends mass. This is a Catholic mass, with a real priest, we see an actual piece of a service. The film takes place on Christmas eve and was shot around this time. 4/

    This is a nouvelle vague movie, which means only circumstantial music, natural lighting, using surroundings rather than studio sets. Using the actual time and setting and light. It's also deliberately shot in B/W. 3/

    The movie is one of six “contes moraux” (moral tales). Rohmer uses this term in the 18th century sense of a story that tells us something about the human condition. These movies have a fixed structure: they feature a male protagonist who is presented w an ethical dilemma 2/
