"So, while nobody in their right mind would've paid money for Dr. Sbaitso as an actual video game, I credit it with saving my life."
Nice oped by Viviana Zelizer about why it's considered so bad to give money as a gift.
Awesome. And amazing to see this published in PLoS One.
"Just because I don’t care about someone else’s pain, so to speak, doesn’t mean I want to cause more of it. I enjoy living in this society. I understand that there are rules. I choose to follow those rules because I understand the benefits of this world, this house where I get to live, this relationship I get to have. That is different from people who follow the rules because they have to, they should, they want to be a good person. None of those apply to me. I want to live in a world where things function properly. If I create messes, my life will become messy."
Completely bullshit/nonsense lecture that a bunch of professors completely buy and even rate highly! Delivery matters. Content, not so much.
