_{"I suppose, but they so often punch me or just call me crazy for the former offense than the latter..."}

[TCM]

"I don't know how many college parties you've been too, but there's always this one person to insist that everything can be boiled down to interactions between atoms, or in human behavior, biochemical reactions. On a level, maybe he's right. I've been there, had those kind of revelations. But that doesn't change the fact that it drives people away."

_"Zero."

[TCM]

"And you know for most people, it's not relevant."

[TheBiggerFish]

_{"But it is relevant here.  We need all the foreknowledge we can get."}

[TCM]

"How is it foreknowledge?"

[TheBiggerFish]

_{"If you know what you're getting into, you can plan."}

[TCM]

"Plan for what?"

[TheBiggerFish]

_{"Disposition of forces, rock paper scissors type resistances..."}

[TCM]

"Those all exist independently outside of whether we're "real" or not."

[TheBiggerFish]

_{"I know, I know.  But those are relevant tactical applications of strategy guides."}

[TCM]

"How do we even know if these strategy guides applies? That means it has to be like a video game, or some sort of game. Some people are similar to games or things from where you're from right? But some of them aren't. Where am I from? Where are you from?

And maybe it's backwards, you know? Games are, despite their abstractions, based on real life, not vice-versa."

_{"That's a theory all right..."}

[TheBiggerFish]

_{"I appreciate the offer.  But I don't want it."}
