Couldn't anyone use this exact same logic against anything they don't believe contributes to the world in a meaningful way?
Reading, outdoor activities, sports, television, movies, even religion I would argue could be described using the same logic.
- noblethrasher 15y agoI think his basic premise (which may need more argument) is that games rob you of agency. The transition from childhood to adulthood is characterized by ever increasing agency, hardcore gaming, he argues, arrest that development. Thus, anything that diminishes age-appropriate agency is bad.
- atomicdog 15y agoI'm sure you have used a less confusing term than 'agency' here.
