Solving a situation, moving up an abstraction layer, solving that, etc is inherently distopian. That's how we got here.


Huh? That seems just like the basic pattern of any kind of civilization or even just personal learning. How would you do it otherwise?

Unless you mean to imply that civilization itself is already dystopian and we should go back to hunting and gathering?


It seems very sysphean to me, a slightly different boulder everytime.

This time, in games, we assign it to ourselves. It isn't even a a burden layed upon us by the gods. Did we shape ourselves such that this is now what we entertain? Or did sysphius already like pushing that Boulder?

What about all the time in between. Im not for going back to hunter gathering, but what about all the things we do all this society for, all the things inbetween. Wouldn't you want to be spending time doing that.
