- artembugara 6y agoYeah, because he's the nerd whose Dungeons & Dragons setting everyone wants to play.
- prepend 6y agoI like the part where he was talking about how much better web ads are than print because you can track revenue per ad dollar spent. He was about to say something, paused to find another term and said “marketer’s nirvana.” I wonder if he originally thought to say “marketer’s wet dream” and edited himself since he’s on video. I like how he truly seems to be into the internet and chose books as a vehicle. At any d&d table there’s usually 1-2 people who can bridge fantasy and reality and make them both better. Then there’s people who live in fantasy. And of course there’s mundies/normies/whatever who are in reality and would never spend hundreds of hours in make believe.
- psyc 6y agoThat’s so funny. I was also thinking “is he going to say wet dream? I think he is” and then I was kind of impressed he found a loftier phrase.
- undefined1 6y agosame with Elon talking about video games, he gets excited talking about them after this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JoTw_JuE78 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JoTw_JuE78 really, both are highly ambitious nerds who apply systems thinking to the real world.

- mensetmanusman 6y agoSo good! Early this winter I had a huge Deus Ex Déjà vu when I was walking in the along the river and someone with a mask was hunched over a barrel coughing (not on fire though, but my imagination filled in that gap). Also during a day when Bitcoin was in the news. Pandemic circumstances predicted.
- 1_player 6y agoHere's my favourite essay on it, that doesn't only go into the game details but also the underlying narrative, political and economical philosophy that makes this game one of a kind: https://youtu.be/rxOKEsBx4NU https://youtu.be/rxOKEsBx4NU It all starts with a pandemic.
