Twenty Years Today
July 01, 2025
Dear friends,
Only a Game turns twenty today, although since I've posted only one thing in the last year (and that was an interview elsewhere) you could be forgiven for thinking that 'the game' was over. But I still pop by here to answer comments, and any long form essays that don't get accepted elsewhere eventually end up here (there was in fact one last year, albeit more than a year ago). Ultimately, though, this project is effectively over, I just refuse to turn off the lights.
If you're interested in what I've been up to elsewhere, here are some of my favourite themes I've explored on Stranger Worlds since last July:
July 2024: Escaping Information, Returning to Truth
- Lost in Information
- The Spectacle of Unravelling Truth
- Frontiers of Rationality
- The Truth of Ourselves
- Orbiting the Truth
October 2024: Thinking About Thinking
- Why Robots Cannot Think
- A Caricature of Science
- Beyond the Hive University
- Escaping the Ruins of Society
- Return of the Citizen Philosophers
January 2025: Hijacking the Future
- Smash All Crystal Balls
- A Cure for Dragon Sickness
- The Disestablishment of the Medical Priesthood
- Beneath the Artificial Earth
June 2025: Meet the Antiheroes
If you're not already a part of Stranger Worlds, why not give some of these short reflections a read...? I'm doing my best work in philosophy right now, and the 750 word (3-minute read) format is both challenging and rewarding to work with. Give it a try!
With unlimited love to anyone who reads this,
Chris.
