Who is this helping? What is creative about using their dog as a lava lamp?

Hah! If your point is that art isn’t creative or that all art is useless, you’re really signing yourself up for quite the battle. I would reevaluate your motivations here.

The answer.

Adding more complexity to uncover issues caused by complexity defeats the purpose but I guess people need to sell shovels.

It's hard to make it simple. the complexity is on our side, but our goal is to cut the noise from production alerts so we're removing complexity rather than adding it.

Well they used the money to buy a house in New York so it wasn't 15000 , because that's not a down payment for a New York house/ apt, even in the 90s.

Of the games you mention it's civilization that's kind of hard to replay for me. RR tycoon had fewer, worse, iterations. All Xcom games are super replayable with the exception of Xcom 3. Colonization is super replayable and it's only reiteration based on Civ 4 is not worth it.

To this day I’ve managed to win in every civ game but still have to figure out how to consistently beat Colonisation.

XCOM 3?

The third game in the series is "X-COM: Apocalypse".

Hey man people either get it or they don't. We're doomed.

Because if we engineered these to work, then we'd be out of a job because the problems would be solved and we could not sell the same service or software 1000 times.


Everything in a society is a manifestation of politics, it's the cybernetics of society.


You have it the wrong way around. In the age of information, politics, that is the art of persuading and influencing popular opinion, is king.

Let's not pretend politics is a natural phenomenon to be worshipped. The fact that everything is politics today is a real indicator of how terminally broken discourse and our society as a whole has become.


You don't get how this works. You buy in AWS because everyone else is , so it's expected. It diffuses risk to your stock options. This also begets a whole generation of people who can only use cloud services so now you are more hard pressed to find people with experience to run things without the cloud. You also create a bigger expenses sheet so it shows you're investing and growing, attracting more investors. "We pay 10 mil in AWS , we're that big". It's classic perverse incentives feeding into a monoculture.
