I posted about Scorn when it first released, but these videos offer a better way of appreciating Scorn's artistry. Unfortunately Scorn is not as fun to play as it is to watch and admire from a distance. You don't need to play Scorn, you can just watch these videos.

Scorn is one of the best examples of how games can reach high art. The creativity in this game is seriously impressive. This is psychedelic levels of imagination & creativity. It is this kind of creative work that has always drawn me to video game design. To invent stuff as imaginative and as beautiful as this.

Oh, what things Consciousness can dream up.

I can imagine the Scorn world as existing as its own realm of Consciousness/life. Imagine that instead of human life, instead of being born as a human on Earth, life was about being born in Scorn. This really shows you the power of Consciousness. To a human this kind of life seems unappealing, but this is the kind of stuff God thrives on. It is an entirely new kind of conscious experience, free from the mundane constraints of human life.

There is an official Scorn art book for sale which offers explanations of its lore.

Elon Musk watches, recommends, and follows Whatifalthist.

It's so cringe how juvenile Musk's politics are.

I'd like to introduce you to Hearts of Space radio, an amazing collection of slow, contemplative, ambient music. Their slogan is: "Slow music for fast times". It's a timeless program started all the way back in 1983. They have an enormous collection of high quality ambient music and one smooth-talking narrator (Stephen Hill). This is an online streaming "radio" service, with new programs each week and an epic back-catalog.

I recommend you invest some time sampling their large collection to find gems that suit your particular tastes. They have over 1000 programs spanning 4 decades.

Here is a small list of their collections. It requires a paid subscription, but it's worth it.

This is high-quality stuff, an ambient music gold-mine.

I was recently walking through Freemont St in downtown Las Vegas when I discovered that there are now public shops that openly sell psychedelic mushrooms in glass display cases. You can just walk into a store and buy bags of mushrooms. I asked the store clerk, "How is this legal?", she said, "It's not legal but we do it anyway." Lolz. You can now just buy a kilo of mushrooms.

So if you're visiting Vegas, head on down to Freemont St and buy yourself a bag of mushrooms. Perhaps the best reason to visit Vegas. Although, don't get caught flying back home with them.

This is how they look like:

The game EVE Online has an unbelievably good soundtrack. Makes for great contemplation music.

These are two of my faves:

There are over 70 tracks. You can find them all on SoundCloud.
