Philosophical Speculations

My Soul motivation to play games, e.g. like certain games that require a high level of concentration, lies in the fact that I obviously improve my ability to concentrate, especially working memory and the like, because it has been terrible for me a while ago. It got better now since I fixed less on ...

Another example: I used to play CS:GO, a first-person shooter game, a lot when I was a teenager. Apart from the ethical implications (although, contrary to what the media often used to claim in the panic, you can very well distinguish that shooting a game character, pixels of zeros and ones, is not ...
