Just a thought. Not to mention if you go through your life with such a serious demeanor with no joy at all, whats the point? I think douglas has done more for humanity than most Nobel peace winners and if he wants to take a break and make a game, who are we to lecture him? People are going to play these games whether we like it or not, so why not subversively teach them the wicked ways of the world without them even knowing it? Expose people to words and concepts that wouldn't normally occur in their world. Just a thought. Testament ( a comic book put out by Vertigo comics written by rushkoff) is a perfect example of subversive literature hidden in a main stream outlet that isnt taken seriously by a majority of people. And yet the ideas expressed in these pages can be mind altering material. Not everything has to be deadly serious, especially when that mindset is one of the reasons we are all in the predicament we are in today... did you ever think that maybe 'reality' is encoded in the game and that the building of the 'darknet' might in actuality be a way for subversive groups to gather and discuss the moves needed to save the human race from bio weapons experts and murderers.

Lets distract ourselves from actual reality and the murders of all the bio-weapons experts all over the world. Lets form a 'global resistance' as part of this game, no need to do that sort of thing in real life. <br><br>What a shame that such an intelligent, brilliant guy would be involved in subverting our minds to this pointless pursuit of saving an imagined world.
