Zero-sum In Elderscrolls

[Leo Gura]

Those of you fellow nerds who've played Morrowind, Oblivion, or Skyrim will find this interesting.

In Elderscrolls lore, they have a state that can be achieved called Chim or Zero-sum. It's basically enlightenment! Read the lore description in that link. I thought it was very cool.

The character Vivec is the best example of a Zero-Summed guy: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Vivec

If only Enlightenment would give us all Supreme Superpowers over reality.

Enlightenment means you ARE reality.  You ARE the essence of experience, not an experience, and not an experiencer.

I think it does give you super powers!  Like fucking silencing your mind at will and seeing everything as extremely beautiful, having deep Samadhi experiences with whatever you look at, heh, having anything that happens to you that any normal human finds negative not effect you because you are detached.    

 

Yay super powers.

Makes me wanna finish skyrim tbh

Makes me realise I'm surrounded by a bunch of nerds

If you're into enlightenment, treasure hunting and video games then you cant afford to ignore Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.

Alot of Enlightenment is hidden in Media. For example Avatar the Last Airbender.

 Does this mean i can reach enlightenment by playing TES?

Funny thing is that you can really understand zero-sum you must be enlightened : the zero-sum meaning the fact that in life everything added and subsracted at the end is zero !

@Leo Gura

Do you still play vidya sometimes? I literally cant get an online subscription to my favourite games because restricting gaming time is almost impossible. Zero tolerance is the only way, Im afraid. Skill/outsmarting based shooters are so well targeted at my mind/personality type.
