"Camus said there is only really one serious philosophical question,

which is whether or not to commit suicide. Why go on?...And you only go on if the game is worth the candle.

I think there are four or

five serious philosophical questions:

The first one is: Who started it?

The second is: Are we going to make it?

The third is: Where are we going

to put it?

The fourth is: Who's going to clean up?

And the fifth: Is it

serious?"

Fourth alt: What happens if we hit the reset button?

Another spin around the wheel to find a better game.

I'm not sure what you mean, but: No alt?

No alt it seems

Can at least have more fun and take it less seriously?

No alt. I'm being confused with someone else. And if that's what's happening, I know who you are referring to. Not me.

I wrote out a whole post, but I'm not going to publish it. I have my reasons for my approach. It wasn't an accident. It was intentional. I will admit it's a destructive one.

I'll try, but only because of you. As I said the other day, you are a reminder that kind of energy already exists in the world, and I'm the reminder it's not easy to find. In a way, it's a proof of work.

Ohhhh now I understand. In this context, alt means alternative option to number 4 question on the list if your Watts quote not alt account

Seems like a handful are seeking evidence of, reminders about, contact to the energy

Nostr a useful tool for the seekers. Making the game fun again. The algos elsewhere so boring and exhausting at times. The proof of work with new tools much more efficient when focused

Curious why destructive except that destroying allows for creating?

Is that what we’re doing now? Hunting for a better game?

Seek, not hunt. If it turns out to be zero sum. Yes. If it's not fun. Yes. If we can't put ego aside. Yes.

Or be totally indifferent to outcome and new game appears
