Hi, all,

I'M sorry to break protocol by referring to last month's discussion topic,
but this just came across my screen, and I can't resist sharing it with
you:

http://www.wisecrack.co/shows/8-bit-philosophy/is-boredom-worse-than-death/
:
Press Start for ³Is Boredom Worse than Death?² by 8-Bit Philosophy, where
classic video games introduce famous thinkers, problems, and concepts with
quotes, teachings, and more.


Perhaps we could resituate this as "intersubjective boredom"

Cheers,

Tim
