@user-95 it's so frustrating trying to explain something abstract to someone
when they disagree with everything you're saying. it becomes a constant battle
of referring to ethics, and that's... exhausting. something for lawyers and
philosophers.

@user-95 I remember the fourth and fifth, and maybe the 2nd or 3rd? somewhere
in there. might have been sixth or seventh, too. I figured I needed all or none
of them, but I wasn't sure how or which. Also I can't remember half of them,
which makes the problem even more confusing...

@user-95 I'm also fond of "I can't know", for things that exist beyond our
finite existence. For example, the perspective of another, for all it's
intrinsic value. Being too quick to trust, though, is an easy path to follow.

@user-95 sorta like magic and witches for girls growing up in a world that
deprives them of power. being trans is one of the most frustrating things
because you just... can't... change your body. until you're an adult and can
get hormones. programming gives you the power to control something, and it's
logic based design structure is useful for objectively proving things, which is
a common method of cracking an egg.

@user-95 well, if the universe is anything ordered, then odds are the beginning
of the week is the most likely day to start the beginning of all weeks. unless
you're one of those weirdos who thinks the week starts on sunday - like,,, what
it's obviously monday
which goes out of the window of course if the universe is NOT ordered, which
would surely be a frustrating experience for the structure of our cells. and
molecules in general.

@user-126 think about other things in your life that you like and are good at.
If you enjoy telling stories, and are comfortable being the center of attention
among groups of 4+ people you know and trust, then you'll do fine with the
in-session part. And if you like worldbuilding or character creating or
spreadsheets or even map making, then those are useful skills. But really the
only thing that's important is imagination, because you can apply it wherever
and however you'd like. Most of my sessions are almost entirely improv, when
I've tried writing down my ideas I just throw them out the window, and if I use
someone else's I get distracted by trying to page through it during combat. So
I mostly just try and explain what happens and let the players guide the story.
Everyone has a different style and each style requires different skills, but
after you try it you'll better understand how you perform best for a group. I
say try it, if you don't like it then ask someone in the group to take over.

@user-95 I suppose that's true. The problem of attention is one of the hardest
problems to solve. : )
"what will I do with my time" is quite possibly one of the most fundamental
ethical decisions one can ever make. And though solving scientific puzzles is
fascinating and can unlock cosmic new technologies, sometimes the most
important thing is to be here in the "now" now, where everything makes perfect
sense.
