Down The Rabbit Hole

Yesterday my girlfriend and I had a very nice dinner with an old friend of mine. After eating some amazing food that he cooked, we lounged and talked for a while.

After a few drinks, our conversation steered to plausible future outcomes. We spoke of numerous ideas from aliens contacting us on a worldwide scale to Elon Musk's idea that our life is a simulation. For each one, putting aside our beliefs, we spoke on what we would do and what our reactions would be if these outcomes were to happen.

This is what I like to call, "Going down the rabbit hole". Imagining yourself in a world where a certain outcome happens and putting yourself smack in the middle of it. I feel it's an excellent way to open your mind to yourself and others around you. Since the outcomes are so varied and of different depths, there's never one answer to any of the situations. You get to witness a person's thought process of realization and solution along with your own.

To me, it lets me experience a person's core beliefs, and in a way their primal beliefs. If someone where to be proved they were completely wrong in their beliefs, how would they deal with it? Would they fight for freedom of the race or creed, or would they let someone else do that so they could take care of the weak? These situations delve into various archetypes, such as the warrior and the healer.

If you want to work with someone, this might be an interesting way of learning about them. It lets you know whether they're open enough with you to share these thoughts, or closed and guarded. I'm accepting of any belief, as long as it abides by Natural Law, but would it be wise of me to work with someone who cannot think outside their own beliefs? There are a plethora of ideologies out there, why not be open and accepting of them?

If you were able to be in someone's shoes and see the world how they see it, that level of understanding would break down walls and procure friendships. It would give both parties a view of how they handle situations, how they think, and a bond that goes deeper than normal friendship.

Pokemon Go!!

Found on Wikia

I loved Pokemon and every now and then will play it on the DS, but I feel this has gone a bit far...

If you haven't seen the droves of people walking around with their phone up in front of their face flicking at something (A thought is now they're at least looking up so maybe their peripherals might work. Wishful thinking.), they'll be coming to your neighborhood soon. Personally I haven't seen the zombies come out during the day. When the night beckons they gather.

I know most people have seen videos and news stories about "accidents" that have happened since the launch of this revolutionary app like I have, and I find it interesting. The big thing behind this game is it's primary focus to take the gamer's out of their hobbit hole and into the real sunlit world, and they have accomplished that with making a BOATLOAD of money (It's estimated that within the first few weeks of launching, Nintendo grossed over $7 Billion from in-app purchases alone..)!

Articles and studies have already come out on the benefits of the game. To name a few; mood-boosting from physical activity, healthier social activities between other humans, a positive community setting that gives people a group they can be apart of, education from having pokestops located at historical landmarks and educational areas, and a way to take a break for a bit from work and catch a few pokemon. I'm just not convinced that this is truly beneficial. It might look good on paper, but as usual they're forgetting one aspect, the HUMAN FACTOR..

At the end of the day it's not real life, and I feel this obsession with the game will bring out a lot more negative than what's already happened. I guess my biggest fear is the game becoming an economy in a sense. It can start producing it's own monetary means of living and working (Not that the American Dollar is worth any more anyways), production of gangs and holdouts at stops, more fights and people clogging the streets, more carbon emissions from people needlessly driving around to get these fake pokemon, losing tons of money and time from driving around, the list goes on and on.

I've been around people who are "obsessive" gamers. It's not a pretty site when they get shot, or get mad at a certain aspect of the game. There are threats that even constitute people REALLY hurting others, and now they'll be face-to-face.

But, maybe the creators are sick Darwinists and feel this will expedite natural selection of the species..
