With freedom I would perhaps give up a life of thought, if even given the choice! Freedom is popularly admitted as the unhindered, completely open, capacity to make whatever choice one has at anytime. However, the capacity to choose is the capacity to choose amongst options viable only because only one can be chosen at a time. To be absolutely free, I now think, would also be freedom from this forced junction of choice. In other words our current view of freedom is because of our current understanding of the term is predicated on choosing . . . but wouldn't ultimate freedom be not the capacity to choose unlimitedly, but rather to just be able to do anything? That is, to do without thought.
In other words, if I cannot lift the rock too heavy for me to lift then I'd rather be . . . well I don't know what I'd want to be. I certainly wouldn't choose if I had freedom, because I think maybe it'd choose me.
Or if you were asking in simple means: I'd travel the world with my girlfriend and document my journey.
I wouldn't have thought that You wouldn't want to think. I love to think! If only I had more time to do so!
I hope that with new found freedom, I will be able to make games and these games will be enjoyed but a numerous crowd.
To be able to think a thought and to be able to make that thought become a reality or come to fruition. A task that is commonly done and often overlooked, but has new meaning for me. While the option of procrastination is forever enticing, and a choice i often get to accomplish, I am starting to feel that more can be done with that time.
To not think and simply do? That is hardly living! In that silly little movie Wall-E, a guy said "I don't want to survive, I want to LIVE" One could certainly survive doing as they're told, but what kind of life would be lived?
The a trip of casual travel with a loved one and logging the events- dull, mild, or exciting, would probably be a wonderful life.
Currently I'm thinking...wondering...What kind of games do old people like? if the flashy stuff and control schemes are "too intimidating for them to learn"... then they prefer classic games like chess, checkers and cards...Do they not care then for other board games and other games of strategy like Magic the Gathering, War Hammer 40K, and perhaps even pokemon? Simple concepts children can and do learn! Would the elements in such games have to be more serious ones rather than fantasy? Moguls as Heroes, businesses as fortresses, Money for HP, Oil for energy? Businessmen for pawns? Do the elderly use imagination? do they know the concept?!
Oh the thoughts that were, are, and will be. Though we may not be be able to do everything we'd like to, at least we're free to think what we'd like.
I don't think I would've ever thought that with more freedom, I'd work super hard to make other people happy. I guess that is what I will do though. I hope!
