    I don't actually know how to play go but I suspect it's similar computationally but with more potential states of the board chess is limited by the fact that it can only go to 200 rounds. It ultimately doesn't matter that much that computers are more suited than humans for board games because the point of games is to have fun and these are machines designed specifically to be good at the game. A motorbike could beat a human in a race but that doesn't invalidate athletes who train to win footraces

    If it helps anything that Korean Go player called it the best game of his life and seemed to have had fun

      Fighting STEMlords and other bad people is always fun. Try to choose a game you can win. E.g. protracted people's war. I fucking wish I was bi. Not even joking. When I used meth I only wanted to fuck women and fight people. Vile drug but at least it killed Hitler.

        Pretty sure Hitler shot himself. Either way he killed himself to avoid capture by the red army so the Soviet Union killed Hitler.

        Winning a game can be fun but it's also only fun if there was a possibility of not winning.

                really it was the background of extreme antisemitism, cultural impact of the eugenics movement and obsession with Prussian militarism if I had to pick three factors

                  The Prussian military industrial complex was wild. Wehraboos fetishise it. Australians fetishise Rommel far too much. More on this another time.

                    I don't think there really were military industrial complexes before ww1 and ww2. Wars back then were considered ruinously expensive and resented by the bourgeoise for their disruption in commodity production. The workers weren't big fans either given all the dying involved but no one cared what they thought

                    The British built Rommel up after the war because that makes having beat him seem more impressive. A good general is a general that wins Rommel lost

                      Shall I tell that to his grandson? Not me. A gay guy I used to know. Might be dead now. I last talked to him in 2015. He was abusing cocaine and antipsychotics. Liked guys to shit on his chest.

                        who Rommels grandson? I don't like Rommel because he fought for Nazi Germany I don't see why I would want to involve his family. If Rommels grandson is not a Nazi I think that bygones should be bygones

                                  Why? Because he was eating whole packs of antipsychotics and considering a bilateral cingulotomy and clearly had daddy issues. He was crashing cars and shit. Reminded me of me.

                                  I didn't know what I know now back then.

                                    I'm not sure fighting your dad is necessarily the best way to help your mental health but then I don't know either of your dads

                                      It's not. What he should actually do is steal his dad's car or something. Maybe crash it or take a shit in it. Better than lobotomising yourself. Not joking.

                                          Liberal psychiatry's plan for Stefan was to destroy him. Fuck that. I hope he's alive and well. I hope he's still being cool.

                                              He would make the greatest antifascist since Thälmann. He'd scare the absolute fuck out of any Australian cop. Spiritually Aboriginal. Spiritually Tasmanian in fact.
