  • If they’re worthless then, why play at all? If they are scarce, convey any kind of status on the platform or unlock anything at all, then i assure you there will be someone gaming the system.

    Poker requires gambling something with at least symbolic value, or else people don’t care about winning or losing hands and just go all in recklessly all the time.


  • I heard online poker is dead and AI killed it.

    A friend of mine was an avid online poker player. He says the AI systems beat humans all the time, and that the platforms countered with AI AI detection systems which allow for a maximum tolerance of winning hands that is considered human level. As a response, players using AI systems added deliberate error rates to hide from the detection.

    Game’s basically broken. Sorry.










  • One of my favorites is democracy. I find the displays of loyalty they have where they self flagellate through outrage fascinating. It’s also interesting how they’ve built a whole mythos around ideals of equality and justice that the elected high priests never stop preaching about, but evidently do not follow themselves at all. I also find it insane how seriously their intellectuals take their purity wars and how viciously they denounce blasphemy for any kind of doubt they perceive over their hugely dogmatic beliefs.

    Another interesting one is Empiricism, but since their apostoles seem to be unaware or unwilling to accept it being a belief system at all, rather considering it the unquestionable nature of reality itself and can get so defensive and upset when faced with other highly speculative and superstitious bliefs, I’ll just say I find its apotheotic aspirations for mankind inspiring.

    Orthodox Economic theory’s intricate divination rituals and soothsaying clergypeople also wonder me, and their sacred sport of “business”, a game of complex trading systems and rule circumvention has a crazy rich pantheon of heroes, profets and deities.
