I think the real game is: who can make the best self-portrait of society? I'm banking on the fact that an open source effort will almost certainly be better than any individual effort.
This is true, has been proven over & over. No one individual can beat the human collective, at anything, no matter how smart or talented they are. This will happen because it benefits all the participants. Open source art is the best path towards our best possible future.
Great idea. Good title. I am not sure how true it is that you can quit playing the game, but I can see how that might work with certain definitions and pre assumptions.
Used without permission: yeah, don't do that. I love open source works, but we have to respect other people's right to not forego their copyrights.
You say that you want the intro to be more beautiful. But there are a lot of different ways something can be beautiful, and different kinds of beauty are appropriate in different situations. It's true that this draft isn't very ornamented, doesn't have a lot of flourish. But it's very earnest, and I think that's very beautiful in this context.
Thank you Ethan! I appreciate you noticing this. My goal with this post was to just write exactly how I felt/what resonated with me.
I care about translating these ideas to make them legible to more people, but I think I will use this blog to figure out the thing I need to say first. And write things on top of that later.
