Games. Particular computer games. Degenerate or not? Let's find out.
You don't have to look far to find games in our European traditions. And I'm not just talking about sport events like the Olympic games and the May games in Scandinavia.[1]But you can also find a lot of intellectual games, word games, poetry games, even board games. So obviously our forebears played games too. And why did they? Well, because playing games is a way to learn something, it's a way to improve your intellectual capacities, and it's a way to have fun. And having fun is also important.
Playing games when you are children is one of the most important educational tools you have. E. g. "Hide & Seek" and chasing and pretending you want to eat your children are games we (still) play to prepare our children for attacks from predatory animals. We lived so long in fear of predatory animals, that we can't get rid of these instincts. And playing games as an adult is really just a continuation of this educational tool, of the use of this educational tool. Because we learn as we live. We never stop producing those little grey cells. I just made a video about how four pounds of garlic costs as much as a horse.[2]If you play a game like that, of course you don't learn that much, but you still learn something from those games. And yeah, playing games is a part of our life really, because it's a joyful way of learning.
I made this (tabletop) game [MYFAROG] as an educational tool for home-schooling my children. It's a fun way to learn basic math, English, reasoning, risk-evaluation and a whole lot more - not least a lot about our own heritage. I know the most negative things about games today, I think, and I'm talking about computer games in particular now, is that they distract, causing us to not look at the real problems, not deal with the real problems, and to just basically play games whilst the world is falling apart around us. And of course that's not good. Actually. Right now it might be best if this world falls apart ASAP, so that we can build a new and better one instead. The world we live in is the epitome of degeneracy. But you don't need a YouTube video to understand that, so I'm not gonna talk a lot more about that. Thanks for watching, bye bye.
If a game is not celebrating heroism. If'a game is not morally constructive, then I think it's a bad thing. So many - if not even most - of the computer games around today, are actually destructive, and should be avoided. Stop supporting morally corruptive games!
