Why is it so addicting

[RELee]

Humph! I was gonna say, "cause the game is just FUN!", but now qwerkus has gone and droned away the evening with his pseudo-intellectual psycho-babble and just ruined it for me. I guess I'll just go back to the Earl and Bubba thread and leave this one to him.

:rofl:

You learn by mimesis, replicating behaviors you see/feel around yourself, and the feedback you earn from it (praising or punishment). I think you really incorporate a lot of very different behaviors during the whole life, which all make up parts of your mind/personality. This can be seen as a "collective consciousness"

ah ok, you use this term to describe the life-long "learning (from others) process" we are all going through. it was misleading then for me.

If you wish more details about the "turning on" of the collective consciousness, I could write another (shorter) paragraph about it.

id appreciate it!

I think he would have been too caught up in the whole "paper that changes appearance" (computer monitor), "mechanical people" (those who are on the internet), and that wacky thing that makes it all possible... I think it's made of vacuum tubes... Ya' know, the internet.

Where's the "how this game still manages to blah blah over all these blah blahs" comments you've seen in every fifth topic for years now? It's getting so obvious we should speak about which country to play or how to attract immigrants for a change.
