Rather than truth, children need structure. That structure must come from a strong foundation of lies.

A child who is never lied to is likely to grow up foolish and easily gulled. They will take part in foolish hobbies.

Yet it is not only the child who can not tell truth from lies. This is a skill that extends into adult life as well, and in training the child you guide the adult.

My favorite way to play with it is in a game of chess with a friend. There are two players, each with a singular objective, and a host of simple rules that manifest into boundless possibilities.

For adults, the truth can be a tricky concept. A thing as fleeting as the number of bottles sitting on a table can be the subject of great discord.

I think David Harvey gets into this in one of his books. Maybe that's in The Enigma of Capital, which is a good book for laypeople. He does not get very technical in that offering, no pun intended.

It's just as much about knowing the other player as it is about knowing the rules. You have to account for the individual strengths and limitations of your opponent.

Good chess players talk about seeing several moves ahead because they can account for all of the moves and counters the rational opponent will make. A game against a novice, however, will probably be much more chaotic.

There are as many different types of games as there are life situations that invite competition. Survivor may be thought of as a hybrid game, or, a game with both cooperative and non-cooperative elements.

I don't believe in science fiction like the singularity. I also don't think we can count on the idea that one day we'll go to space and harvest moon rocks, and that, as a result, we'll never need to worry about what we do back at home.

Technology does become more efficient with time. Technology, however, also becomes grander as we continue our forward progress. I don't think at any time in history has energy consumption decreased, despite our more efficient refrigerators.

We began by playing within cooperative teams. In challenges, we worked together towards hopefully-positive outcomes. Durf even took time to practice quoting lines from Ozymandias in rapid succession.

Having had a hangover before, I can see where the quote is coming from. However, I believe it addresses a very complicated subject with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

I don't think there should be a topic so niche that a player might never have even heard of it. The viewer or the moderator who selected this topic for me is, quite literally, Satan. I am researching this topic now.

The quote is unsure of itself. Is it presuming that we're getting drunk, or will it apply even if we're talking about one beer after work, or one glass of wine with dinner?

It sounds like Awesome Games Done Quick has something to do with video game "speedruns." Some people, apparently, don't find enough joy in playing a video game in a normal fashion, but instead strive to establish such mastery of the game that they're able to complete it with blazing speed.

This might be another form the replay value of a game can take. A player can go back to it again and again until they can finish a forty hour game in some absurdly short amount of time, like thirty minutes. People derive enjoyment from all sorts of things, apparently.

If it applies itself to one who drinks with such moderation, the quote is patently false. There is nothing lost from tomorrow if the alcohol fits within a balanced diet and is of a reasonable cost.

My research shows Awesome Games Done Quick purports to be some type of charity. I find that difficult to fathom, since the entire event was conjured up by, you guessed it, Satan. Satan rears his ugly horned head again.

If, however, we're talking about getting faced, the quote has a lot of merit. As I noted earlier, the first, most obvious robbery of happiness comes from a screaming headache, vomiting and dry-heaving, and generally feeling like death.

If Satan came up with Awesome Games Done Quick, and then also selected it for my current topic in this challenge, that has certain implications. Did Propaganda Machine summon Satan to do her evil bidding? The conclusion seems quite obvious.

Drinking to the point of blacking out is never fun, either. One loses the happiness of waking up feeling refreshed, knowing full well the events of the night prior.
