Every member of a set may be considered a subset, however, if a member of a set contains as a subset other identical members, it is redundant and unnecessary. So, the set of everything can be in the set of ifself if it is written that way. I wouldn't write the set that way.Hobbes' Choice wrote:Is the set of everything in the set of itself?
But all that said, we know nothing until we know everything.
NO.There is more than one everything.
Because you only think you are a top player.thephilosopher wrote:People are usually top players at their favorite games. That game is fun for me to play. I'll play it a lot.

Uf, there are hundreds of them, some of them better, and more complex. I really don't like that kind of games. But there is one... I don't remember the title, but it was programed to look for your name in your computer and saying it with a low voice in some parts of the game, fun history XD. I usually like long games where you have to take choices, with good argument etc. Many genres, but usually rol and strategy games, nut I like every genre I guess.thephilosopher wrote:Thanks for pointing out that post. Black & White is the only game I can remember where you can be God, I didn't know there were others. What is your favorite genre?
While I'm playing computer games, I want to be doing something useful... I want people to learn philosophy. So, I'm designing a game around that. Its one of the game threads. Each thread starts with a motive. You cannot question a motive except to the degree you can literally read one's mind, or alternatively to the degree they state their motive.
Isn't that overconfidence instead of arrogance? Or delusional instead of arrogant? I would say arrogance means I would belittle the other players, but they are all valuable, and I'm happy they are there. Are games also delusions by definition?Hobbes' Choice wrote:Because you only think you are a top player.thephilosopher wrote:People are usually top players at their favorite games.

Wow, that is a wild game that presses the limit of legality. I guess that genre of game would be a thriller. I suppose it would be also considered an augmented reality game. Certainly it is a mind game. The was a movie called "The Game" that I do like. I'll have to watch that one again because it has been a very long time since I watched it.TSBU wrote:Uf, there are hundreds of them, some of them better, and more complex.

I don't understand what are you saying, probably cause I don't talk English very well.

I prefer you'd call me whoever you believe I am. But that avoids the question: are games delusions by definition?Hobbes' Choice wrote:thephilosopher wrote:Isn't that overconfidence instead of arrogance? Or delusional instead of arrogant?

If you prefer me to call you delusional then so be it.
