Good tweets by @orthonormalist on the virtues of video games (tho regrettably unthreaded; you'll have to track them down yourself).
I tend to dislike video games as a memetic hazard / substitute for true achievement, but also understand that everyone needs relaxation and fun.https://twitter.com/orthonormalist/status/1174770699287678977 …

2/ if I added a 1% tincture of NRx kid "here's how we should restructure society" to my thoughts, I suppose I'd say "it'd be nice if we had a world where it was easier for kids to learn actual blacksmithing than waste 800 hours leveling up their WoW character in 'blacksmithing'"

Replying to @MorlockP @orthonormalist
Here's the problem: I can't do actual blacksmithing. I am certainly capable of conceiving of solving problems and engaging with problems for various ends, but I can't blacksmith. Why is blacksmithing objectively better than any other problem-solving environment?

You can't orchestrate a 40 man raid done by people in age from 12 to 60 with varying life schedules and skill abilities, in order to achieve an efficient military end in search of a goal. I can. Why is that inferior to blacksmithing?
