Cognitive Liberty [2023-05-13]

• Christopher Allen on Twitter: "“the mind is a…last refuge of personal freedom and self-determination…Yet, with advances in neural engineering, brain imaging and pervasive neurotechnology, the mind might no longer be such unassailable fortress.” https://t.co/iGE9PL4FrK" / Twitter
• Christopher Allen on Twitter: "I pointed to the risks to "cognitive liberty" back in 2019, but I now consider the threat even greater. Today, parties leverage cognitive bias and network effects. Tomorrow, new tech, such as personal-health & eye-glance sensors, combined with AI tools, will make it more risky." / Twitter

• "Examined Lives: Informational Privacy and the Subject as Object" (2000) is a scholarly article by Julie E. Cohen published in the Stanford Law Review (52 Stan. L. Rev. 1373-1438). The article explores the concept of informational privacy and its impact on individuals as objects.

  • Never Prep Plot: Instead of prepping plot, prep entities such as places, enemies, friends, items, and rewards. What happens in the game should be emergent, not prewritten, based on mechanics and dice rolls.
  • No Paper after Seeing Rock: This principle is about commitment to your prepped decisions. For example, if you've prepped a room to have a certain number of skeletons, you don't change that number when the players reach the room.

    • The article emphasizes that Powered by the Apocalypse (PbtA) is not a single game system but an approach to game design.
    • Baker outlines the philosophy of PbtA, which is based on the idea that game design is a cycle of drafting, playing, revising, and iterating.
    • The goal of the design process is to create a playable outline of the game. The final product might be a PbtA game or something entirely different, which is deemed as a success either way.
    • The article encourages designers to trust their game and iterate on it, implying the openness of PbtA as a design philosophy
