about

Simon Severe, WHERE'S THE HARM?

I've had many arguments with people about my utter hatred for video games. I guess I'll spare us the details of the arguments and skip to their ending points...

“What video games do is give you the feeling that you are doing something, most likely something that you will never be able to do, when all you are really doing is sitting on a couch pressing buttons.”

“It isn't hurting anything.”

That may be true. I guess the biggest problem I have with video games is that I resent the fact that we have time to waste. That we live in a world where we can buy everything. We don't have to spend time making things. Someone else does that. People all over the world are paid a slave wage with the motivation of making enough to survive so that we can afford to spend our time entertaining ourselves. I have a pretty big problem with that. I'd rather see people spending their time making things for themselves and others than wasting time with luxuries.

Sometimes I feel the same way about the arts. But at least sometimes the arts serve as a catalyst to bring people together and create a community in which we can share ideas and form networks of mutual aid and all that. It gets us out of the house, and if it doesn't then fuck it. Creating and sharing art also serves to make a localized non-commercial alternative means of entertainment. Someone who spends time on creative measures though I think needs to spend a lot of mental energy evaluating the social worth of their creation and avoid spending time furthering projects that only serve to entertain themselves and distract them from doing anything useful with their time.

I have at times felt the same way about intellectualized learning. Who are we that we have time to sit around reading and understanding the meaning of life or whatever. I don't really think that way anymore. It's the sort of thing that exists on a sliding scale and honestly only a few people get wrapped up in intellectualism to the point of becoming utterly useless to the world except to make more ideas to entertain themselves and their intelligentsia colleagues. I used to be one of those people. On a broad scale most people could benefit from a little more ideas in their lives...

lyrics

hey! drugs! who wants to talk about drugs
hey! beer! who wants to talk about drinking
oh fuck! TV! let's review these TV shows
what you doing after work? gonna get fucked up and pass out in front of the TV.
gonna buy cable and I'm gonna buy some weed
I'm gonna buy a eightball and some sitcom DVD's
gonna spend my free time talking about drugs I wanna buy
why lie? it's what I'll do until I die (the sooner the better)
