The entire world has conspired to convince you something is true that is in fact, not true--figures of authority, your closest friends, your loved ones--everyone is in on it except for you.  No, you aren't Jim Carrey on the Truman Show, you are yourself at five years old during Christmas time.

Some zoomers think its traumatizing and evil, we think its fun.  But we all agree at some point, the children must know the truth.  Where is this line drawn? Are there other lies that everyone is in on but you? If so, what are they? Politics? Business? Fiat Money?

Is generational "meme-atic" warfare just good fun?
Is it better to be angry or indifferent? Does it change based on our span of control?
Is Bitcoin happiness?

What does any of this have to do with Christmas?

Everything in life, whether its social interactions, work, finance, office politics, or anything else--is a game.  The winners are those who can best identify the mechanics of the game and exploit them in order to win.

Are video games then a healthy way to repeatedly practice identifying mechanics and winning, and does this have cross-over benefits into real life?

The highest level of philosophy, captured in a podcast episode, and distilled into laymen's terms so all can understand: this episode questions and discusses topics ranging from how we arrive at knowledge to what certainty we can know anything.  

Possibly the greatest philosophical discussion since the turn of the century, we discuss whether math is purely logical--and if it is, how can it so closely represent reality? Did Einstein's theory of relativity "break" math and physics? Does quantum mechanics "break" math and physics?

Recent societal trends push the idea that if physics is relative, and our understanding of it for the past 300 years broken--then everything can be relative.  But is this the correct takeaway?

"Capitalist" America's workplaces have become increasingly socialist.  In socialist societies, the creed stands: "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs."  This naturally raises the issue of who determines who is most in need? quickly devolving into the people at the top in the socialist society helping out their friends and family.

The same is becoming true in the American workforce: hard work is not rewarded--instead it is usually punished with more work.  Meanwhile, those who don't work still receive pay (often commensurate with the hardworkers' pay) and are moved to "fake" positions where they can do no harm to the company because it may be more paperwork than its worth, or even worse, a lawsuit or PR nightmare to fire them.

So what is the game theory to win in a socialist society?  Quiet Quit.  Work as little as possible, and you will effectively have achieved a pay raise--do it well, and the raise will be substantial.
