Games
We as humans play games.
When we are bored we create these pockets of purpose in our lives to use our minds with.
What do games say about humans?
Are the games we play just meaningless time fillers or do they say something more about the human condition.
Games require us to think about something within a confined space. We assign rules to certain interactions so that they can have forced consequences. Sometimes the consequences are not what we thought they would be.
In games we find these unanswered questions.
We play.
With each new game we discover something new, about the game, about ourselves as players.
What would happen if….
Becomes the question and we have the ability to play out possibilities to run our thought process to a conclusion and then once the sum of all the thought that has gone into a game is completed the game is destroyed. You pick up the pieces and you play again. You have to get better somehow.

Nice piece Love brother.
I’ve thought about that too. I have noticed that I need positive time fillers in life to feel more satisfied. I’ve just taken on another commitment in my life that will make me very busy. When i’m busy I’m tired at the end of a day from good work. I’m not up at 2 am, I’m in bed at 10 and up at 630. It wasn’t something I chose…it makes me antisocial amungst the surrounding nocturnal college community, but it’s what I gotta do to give me the right mixture of active agents in my brain so that I am living on high. It’s why I turn the a/c on when I get hot, if you feel what I’m saying.

If you all were wondering where this came from, I had recently had the pleasure of learning the game of Go (the oldest surving game) from an extremly smart math major. Go is the only game that cannot be played effectivly by computers yet as it requries abstract thought, something that seems to be “humans only” for the time being.
