15. Game Theory not Gaming or Gamification

GAME THEORY NOT GAMING NOR GAMIFICATION

INFORMATION NOT CONTENT

I FILE COMPLAINTS. BUT AM GENERALLY COOL SO IT WOULD BE UPHILL TO REPRESENT ME AS A KAREN. I MIGHT EVEN “WIN”. I AM NOT A “NORMIE” JUST BECAUSE I AM NOT A SCHOOL SHOOTER. I AM COOL! (You are all idiots…shhhhhhhh your secret is not safe with me..don’t try to invert that dynamic again..lol…I need a bunker and to “learn to code”.).

This is lame. I don’t understand why my last mentor sabotaged me. He is not even overly a bible banging free market enthusiast. Though I pegged them as cultishly prone to labeling me a “Hindu Ecofascist”. The Hindu part is just wrong and I object a lot to the ecofascist part. Everything is this broken because the managerial class pretends to be bad at non-fascist, i.e. sustainable math. And

As things go back to the usual at least now I understand what I was trying to communicate, adjusted for a drastically changed reality.

This is awakward. I have never been in serious conflicts. But at least it is better of you know me enough to make communication effficient!

*I DON’T KNOW PEOPLE. BASED ON THE NEWS AND THE NET, COEXISTENCE AND COMMUNICATION LOOKED IMPOSSIBLE. I LIKE YASHA LEVINE, CHRIS KETCHAM, VALERIE SOLANAS AND LINA KHAN, BUT I CAN STILL SEEM “REASONABLE” ENOUGH TO PASS AS FAR AS ANYTHING REAL GOES. THAT IS MORE COMPLICATED IN OTT SITUATIONS. I AM STILL NOT AN IDIOT AND COGNIZANT TO THE SABOTAGE AND HOW IT WORKS. PEACE. WHY WOULD I LIE AND FILE FRAUDULENT COMPLAINTS OR “FIGHT LIKE A MORON”✌️? OTOH THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN OTT NUISANCE AND IT HAS TO BE YOUR FAULT MORE THAN MINE WHICH SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT YOU ARE LESS BRiGHT THAN I THOUGHT AND I AM PONDERING THE IMPLICATIONS OF THAT. NO NEED TO PANIC OF COURSE. IT IS JUST HUMAN STUPIDITY, WHICH AS FAR AS I CAN TELL IS “POPULAR”. I AM LARGELY STAYING OFFLINE. I WILL FILE HARASSMENT COMPLAINTS RE THE DOXXING. NOTHING PERSONAL, BUT I CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE ANONYMITY OR GET SUCKED INTO BS. TO THE EXTENT THIS IS REAL SCIENCE, IT IS UP TO YOU GOING FORWARD THAT YOU CAN LEAVE ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO ACCIDENTALLY STUMBLE ON TO THE NET WHILE PONDERING ALL CONFLICT OPTIONS ALONE.*

IT IS NOT AN OPEN WORLD GAME SYSTEM. BUT GAME THEORY IS A FRAMING I UNDERSTAND MINUS CREEPS/SLEAZEBAGS/INFLUENCERS/“NORMIES” and SCHOOL SHOOTERS (YOU ARE CHARACTERIZED by UNIMAGINATIVE DICHOTOMIES. NOBODY WANTS TO PLAY WITH YOUR DAMN KIDS FFS. THE KIDS MAKE IT CREEPIER NOT MORE WHOLESOME. IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO WORK WITH THE NICER CONSERVATIVES. IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY WITH. IT WOULD INVOLVE LOTS OF EXPLANATIONS.

Sam Miller Macdonald, in a time of global crisis help me damn you. Yes! I know he has a girlfriend! Or a partner or something.


It is impossible to play with conservatives because it takes too long to communicate various really obvious things. Like that no serious lefty scientist would play games involving sex, drugs, in pursuit of power, money etc.

But that doesn’t make it this lame, unsophisticated bs.

This diseased society seems to think that Deepak Chopra and that UCSD creep -“autistic telepathy”. That is not creative. That is what Hearst considers Popular Science though Darren Orf had a piece that made me realize he is probably okay.


You are often interested in such lame shit. But what is worse is what you seem to think makes something lame.
It is very cynical and self contemptuous. What makes you lame is how you don’t retain humanism in any contexts that are not meaningless shlock. Current Affairs is cool. Phew. Yeesh.
It is impossible when people don’t take things seriously.

As for the left - oh fuck off.

You ostensibly have so many purity tests. Yes I get why but you shut out your own. And then one is left explaining various over obvious things to amused and contemptuous conservatives.

I feel crazy sometimes ..lol.
These aren’t things I would normally share but since it is already out there, I..


I am not very emotional. Idiots catching stupid shit on camera. I hate being filmed by creeps. Only one’s reaction to a creep would be registered then and one doesn’t exist on camera but if one is using the entire conceivable tool list, I suppose what I was saying was there is a kind of sweetness to some of the Current Affairs writers or Yasha Levine or Ed Zitron and sometimes you look for life to break through the bullshit!

It sounds a bit lame, but it is not insulting to be likened to a child so much as confusing about what worldly even is.
I am worldly. I am shrewd enough to not sabotage myself. Yeah wtf.

Why would one’s own mentor sabotage one? There is no certainty that any of this will have been worth it enough to. Otoh it is just lame to start off by giving up.

Things have to retain their original meaning enough to have a template that makes sense. But this is a landscape unfairly biased in favor of morons unless you are …

It is not just politics. It is also personality and everything can be scrutinized using this framework. But the criteria are always different:

https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-math-that-explains-why-bell-curves-are-everywhere-20260316/


I think these young people are kinda sweet: Troy Farah, Nathan Robinson, Alex Skopic, Ciara Moloney, Briahna Joy Gray, Sam Miller Macdonald, Lyta Gold, Ed Zitron.
Technically they are known people and they are about a decade younger than me, but much like Yasha Levine, they take things seriously.

But lol..I try not to be conspicuous in the workplace etc. It would take impossibly long to communicate that one isn’t The Unabomber or a fool.

And I figured with my penchant to like humor that..I figured it would be impossible to establish contact with the kind of left one would talk to enough to acknowledge embarassing things such as that we need to work together and talk! At least enough to “depopulate” sanely recognizing what each thing means.

You don’t need “cease and desist” letters where it is adequate to point out that it is tacky to overstay your welcome and stalk someone online as a sleuth or influencer or creep would.

We are all giving up information to opaque machines here.

Obviously I do not like being followed. I am not an influencer. Otoh the context is the open web since I am not a princess.

But surely it is “cringe” to follow people who are trying to work in undefined spaces and in undefined ways as that is the very nature of it. But that’s enough info for a bare framing.

That is human life. You can’t “verify” it is “authenticity”.
Or force patterns or mess up meaning.

But maybe I do wish you all would be pills less where we are a “we” and try to seriously outwit jerks. The difference is how hacklike it feels like without it’s original meaning.




I rather like this professor. He doesn’t look very Type A. His wife is also a scientist. He is probably cool. He may not be a stoner per se but he doesn’t look like a nightmare unlike most of these Cs creeps

https://www.quantamagazine.org/for-algorithms-a-little-memory-outweighs-a-lot-of-time-20250521/

Those Robert Murray studies that allegedly set off the unabomber - those have been on my mind. It strikes me that these Unabomber and Valerie Solanas types don’t strategize very well. Nor Jesus. Surely people who are not politicians, influencers etc have concepts like “doing things for survival but not by shooting yourself in the foot by choosing engagement with the most tiresome humans alive.”



That is outright sabotage of the natural and earth sciences by CS and economics. And probably to a lesser extent medicine.
Yasha Levine, Chris Ketcham, Ed Zitrol and the Current Affairs crew would totally be able to help.


This should have been obvious way earlier. Look..there is Type A feminist or scientist or lefty or Green.
And that..sounds discouraging except at a great distance from one.

And then there is stoner feminist, scientist, lefty, Green. A totally different type. But the meaning is preserved is what I am saying. Like its not that being a stoner is the same as “I love creeps!!!! I am cool!!!!”
No. Wouldn’t it be more functionally ominous to be affable in conflict? You guys sabotage people by forcing shrillness. I think we were all acting on unconscious or subconscious drives/

But I am exactly who I say I am. A MEDIOCRE BUT HONEST AND NOT STUPID SCIENTIST. IT IS SABOTAGE TO INSIST ON OR RATIONALIZE SUCH DAFT DRIVEL.

Ha. I can reassign weights.



I think that is why I was posting links. I was ruminating about “the team” in a game framing. There is no game or sale etc.
Don’t you dare explain things to me!

These creeps are all way more all your collective fault more than mine and that is my undying stand.

And EarlG and DU are literally and symbolically significant. It is kinda cool to the extent that anything one finds cool is if they retain the properties that originally made them cool or acquire new ones that are similarly cool in a radically different context.

But clunky and mechanical is - Sept 5, 2011-April 18, 2026.
There is a symmetry there as my annoying and in the abstract creepy former employer booted me out after slandering me a bunch April 18, 2012.

Bah..they are idiots and I am a complainant. But what I was trying to indicate I suppose by “borrowing” the intelligence of the types of lefties I back is that, “yasha levine would find it way easier to read my mind than someone whom I have to keep lying to because there is no saying how people whom are vaguely national security ish would react.
And the best I have is “okay look i am left, feminist etc snd I take those things seriously but that doesn’t make me this inane caricature and that caricature is not the fault of the right exclusively


It is the problem with so much of how reality is represented in other people’s heads being this perception driven and formed by people who lile socializing or communication whereas many on the so called “far left” are actually way more reasonable in real world situations that are not manufactured nor engineered.

But we do in my experience tend to dislike socializing and communicating.

But not being hugely entitled and awful and not being under the impression that reality was made for oneself is different from being this gullible doormat.

This context is wacky. But like that is such a dick move - the psychiatric hospital.

Tbis is not fine tuned and engineered. It has all really fallen ..i repel kayfabe because you cannot have real life coexist with theatre and performance art as they are as noxious as ai. The reason I like Yasha Levine or Current Affairs is they are savvier than that and EarlG is savvy. That is why I am here, but this is EarlG’s site. And DU.

I am not going to suck attention away from the main part of the site.

But the meaning is retained in that I am here because this is grassroots, influencer and ai free left if one keeps it that way.
And I do.

Reality is a way more complicated instrument than a microscope.

And I am not going to belabor this. But yeah.,where I am very much on the same team, you guys can seem unapproachably daft a bit. Surely the compliment that someone agrees with you in principle should outweigh that they find you superficially annoying.

I am much more inclined to understand this conception of whatever an SJW is than someone who alerts the creeps constantly to their location. Because it is not a joke. And I don’t understand humorless people at all. And keep falling into traps conservatives set because they retain a sense of humor - mostly because they “don’t give a shit” more, but surely you cannot abandon entire concepts like “humor” to conservatives.

I still appreciate it when it is like say the BlackAgendaReport and as far as I can tell “true to form”.


But you gotta understand that when in concert with a for profit giant you confuse two separate concepts: 1) not caring what other people think about you in trivial ways - I myself don’t. With 2) I don’t care at all if what I do is consistent with groups I consider myself a specific unique representative of -“feminists”, “leftists”, Environmentalist, Scientist etc.


I favor minimal conversation where no useful information exchange occurs.
So mostly I favor minimal information exchange.

Sorry I came off wrong. I usually avoid stuff like this but it occurs to me that the same “problem solving” palette probably applies here if unlike Sam you are not agonising over menswear at a time of global crisis much as I agonize over data that can be connoted “impression curation or farther stupidity as I came off as an idiot in a location where contextually it can seem as if I deliberately thought sharing this in a space with up to 8 billion -or whatever the obscene current human population tally is - eyes.
It is vanity I suppose to not want to be considered a walking punchline without spelling out who the butt of the joke is.

Not me, I suspect!

It is totally all those tech creeps I swear! They just want to muddy the joke by grabbing it for “Goop”. Go Current Affairs/Yasha Levinr etc”


Yes I can tell which is which idiots.
Play means imagination. None of it has meaning with a sad product tacked on or without the system of trust and faith in other humans.

This is just a pattern unconnected with any real thing except those pieces in their context as all the humans who generated any of that would intend. That Catcher in thr Rye guy had a point.
And I would no longer post new links.

It would muddy the..conflicts of interest lower quality. Low quality work and worse low quality play. That is these guys they ruin everything they touch and they don’t get that it applies recursively.

Thats why i picked that Prof Ryan Williams as the best representative of his ilk in context. In spite of MIT not being something anyone would associate with any game that wasn’t torture porn, he looks fairly human for a pi. A class whose humanity is not one I question being a team player!

Well I know my main mentor and best friend are pis but they are just really intense people. I want to be intense like that. Not like a


Slacker, stoner, laid back etc doesn’t mean charlatan, fraud, extremely annoying etc

It just means not socially awkward. I mean I get what this is. This is just awkward.
I love men! I love conservatives and ALL people who are vaguely left of centre and so on!


This was totally unacceptable and I am totally filing complaints but in a very logical, relatable and likeable way!
I have seen things that fall in this category but aren’t gross. Like Sesame Street. Yeah Nathan Robinson has potential once..

If one is enduring all this, which people aside from DU one specifically follows but also specifically in a degrowth and complaint oriented model of the world with a human brain whose DMN reconfigures “play” to at the very least not be torture. That at least is a clear clash but then there are all those perverts who get off on stuff like that.

After all why would this exist if it was all a simple and easy joke to hastily resolve?
Otoh yeah serious differences of opinion can be worked into a game or play context as long as enough info goes through where

I don’t engage at all with people in ways (context and people) that sets them and me up for future conflicts. It is why I avoid most people and I stay low profile but I don’t not exist.
