Episode 168: The nature of evil in games

In a previous episode, I defined a game as anything with rules
and a goal. A goal with no rules tends toward destructive chaos,
and rules with no goal tend toward restrictive control. One
without the other is death; both together is life. Therefore, one
of the purposes of any game is to create and maintain the
conditions that allow play to continue. This furthers life and is
"good." Anything that seeks to end the game is opposed to life
and is "evil." In this episode, I'll reveal the seed of human
evil, and how to counteract its influence.
