@Jack: you must mean that Steve’s posts were so like this… not the other way around ;) I’m not going to hunt ghosts or become a zen priest (at least not anytime soon ;)… it’s game making that got me interested in many areas besides programming (business, marketing, success, project work etc.) and I have too many game ideas to produce.

@Gil: And shame that it goes beyond that… even us do the same. You, me, guys who commented here and everybody else does the same. Wars are started ‘to protect the country’ and we believe that. We also believe that only Nazis did horrible things to jews, but “our soldiers don’t do like that”.

@Aymes: (1) eh..

(1) Think what’s being said, not who said it – should be plastered across every game creation forum in the world :P

I spent months trying to convince people to think *why* they do what authorative figure tells them and i think it runs much deeper than rational thinking.

Some were taught from childhood to listen to authorative figures such as teaches and parants – and do what they were told without asking too much questions. Its a screw-up of the education system that deprive curious mind from asking “why”. “Its the law, its in the book, so stop interrupting the class”. and it goes all the way to the university.

So instead of learning how to “know”, we are taught to memorize what authorative figures are saying.

I support what you’re saying and I appreciate those who encourage people to ask “why” instead of coplying like mindless NPC’s.
