Life and Love as Games with Rules
Dating and relationships function like games governed by various rules and scoring systems that reflect broader principles of reality. These systems draw from concepts like Darwinism, where success is measured by reproduction, and economic markets, where financial gain acts as a score. Social standing also plays a crucial role, with individuals vying for status within their circles. The nature of these 'games' suggests there are definitive winners and losers, highlighting the competitive aspect of human interactions. The idea extends to a philosophical perspective, where the merging of opposites, represented by the alchemical 'heroes game us', indicates that even profound elements of existence can be gamified.
