We describe ideas through names, this is a major weakness of philosophy to transcend itself at times, but none-the-less concepts do get into circulation. In the case of Freud, Ego gets into circulation in a stupid synthetic way with new age thought insofar as we have to transcend the Ego. In this case, it is clear that the actual philosophy has done a pathetic job of actually becoming known. It becomes a joke and common intuition becomes philosophy.

Nietzsche, the name of power, comes up as a place holder for both “Me” and “Us.” Us, the aristocratic ideals, will create slaves of those below us. Or at least, I will escape the morality of slaves. Either way, I will win, or will I? What does Nietzsche win exactly?

In the Ego and the Hyperstate, I describe a world of idea-forces which are created from and are the substantial content of human agency. No matter how captured we are by forces or by the already existing Hyperstate (forces of ideas in the world) we create our own ideas through language which navigate, interlock, and oppose other ideas. Our very movement through the earth has an indeterminate rational idea within it that can be mapped.

We have belief systems which posit how ideas should be arrange as they actively engage with already arranged ideas. Each person, like their unconscious, has an immediate intuition where they arrange things both internally and externally which is the EXACT SAME THING AS SELF INTEREST CAPS LOCK. This is important as your unconscious dream is in fact an arranging which is (see previous caps locked phrase.

To counter the critical theory argument that we should avoid gamification in life, philosophy has always been about a gamification and ordering. A regulating of people and a de-regulation of ideas which have become stale. Belief systems are ways of delineating players, roles, and they have a tendency to make the gamemaster win.

The Gamemaster can set rules and beliefs in a way that creates their position. Or, one can refer to an already existing game which one has power or skill in. In solidarity with Nietzsche not being a complete idiot, there is an idea that Nietzsche begins to entertain, which is that morality is a game. Yes it is a game, but it is also many games, and his morality game is also a certain game.

What am I typing? I’m typing in the philosophy game, I have a good rank in the philosophy game, philosophy swag game. I’ve sold 1000 books before, not bad. Not on the New York Times Bestseller list, but you never know. Swag. Philosophy-post-writing-swag. I’m an amateur in the chess drip and swag game.  

Point is this: you play games with belief. You make gerrymander belief around yourself. You make games in which supposedly all people win. You make games in which you win, or maybe you are fixated on games in which you constantly lose. Maybe stop that if you are. Or at least, get good n00b.
