He is right that Art with a capital A is about enriching the viewer, dare I say, enriching the viewer spiritually. However, the problem I have with this is that Art just isn't a good medium for that. You can consume all the Art in the world and it will not enrich you spiritually as much as just contemplation and psychedelics. Just as video games are a terrible medium to deep story-telling, Art is a terrible medium for spiritual enrichment. The spiritual enrichment that art like film and video games offers is as thin as a potato chip.

Not to be a jerk, but for all of his fancy talk, you can play all of Jonathan Blow's games, which took him a life time to create, and you will get less enrichment than just contemplating one of my videos. Human literature is just not deep, never mind video games.

So for me, video games ARE about escapism. Video games are about exploring imagination and dream worlds. The Art is in the beauty of creating an alternative reality. What he didn't mention at all is that Art is creating beauty. Just Beauty for its own sake is enough of a reason to do Art. Art doesn't need to have a message or a lesson because neither does Beauty.

But kudos to Jonathan Blow for having artistic integrity and at least trying to do more with games than just mindless fun. I admire how hard he works on his Art and his thoughtfulness about it.

This guy worked in one of the most successful Wall Street algorithmic hedge funds until he finally discovered religion and morality.

Note: This guy has some sick Zionist ideas towards the end. Obviously I don't endorse those. This is a good example of how religion and morality are not enough to reach God, even though it's better than mindless materialism. Is Judaism inferior to what I teach? Of course it is. How could a 3000 year old religion compete with one invented in the 21st century? This is like expecting an ancient Roman chariot to out-match a modern tank.

If traditional religion is like chariots and steamships, Actualized.org is a B2 stealth bomber. That's the difference in the level of epistemic sophistication. And yes, it makes a huge difference in how well God is understood in the end. Judaism just cannot get you to where Actualized.org can get you. Why should it? It's 3000 years old! This isn't a feature, it's a bug. All I'm doing is creating modern religion. But people are so shocked and outraged by this, when it's the most obviously needed thing in the world. But people just can't think outside the conformity. They either hate it because it undermines their tradition, or they hate it because it undermines the authority of science. But they have no understanding of what I'm creating and why.

You have a front row seat to watch mass self-deception play itself out over the next few years. Watch and learn.

This is what group-think looks like:

In this video Cal Newport (a computer scientist) deconstructs AI journalism, showing how flawed it is. Cal Newport is a good example of responsibility in the AI information space.

Just look at how deluded these tech CEOs have made themselves. They actually all think they will create AGI within a few years. This is pure lunacy. They have no clue how to create AGI. This tech-bro conformity is ugly.

There is definitely a tech market crash coming within a few years. Be very careful with your money right now. Do not invest in tech. Wait for the crash. If there's one thing I know for sure, these fools will not create AGI. And then their house of cards will crash. When all this AI hype crashes, it will drag everything down with it, especially crypto. So get out of crypto before the tech crash. Once AI crashes, crypto will crash by 70%. That is my prediction. If you are in crypto when the AI crash comes, you will lose most of your money overnight.

As this CEO says, if they are off by even 1 year they can go bankrupt. Well, they are not off by 1 year, they are off by decades at least.

Note: This is just my opinion, not investment advice. I could be wrong.
