Video Games to Help You Relax

An Anonymous Coward writes: "Irish game developers have unveiled their latest project, a game that helps you to relax, through the use of electrodes that are attached to a player's fingers and as the person relaxes, their dragon moves faster. The game uses galvanic skin response technology which works by measuring the ability of the skin to conduct electricity."

"galvanic skin response"

Is that the same sort of futuristic technology that many table lamps have had for, oh, forty years?

Video games are not the answer

The structure of our critical discourse is clearly fractured beyond repair.

The notorious "suicide doctor" (and suspected Canadian) Dr. Jack Horkheimer is all over the news telling us to drop acid and stare at the skies, and not a word is uttered in protest in this allegedly libertarian forum.

Meanwhile, Commander Taco instructs us to vegetate in front of a TV screen, because it will "help us to relax" -- indeed, indeed! Relax you shall, my little ones! Just as the Vichy government relaxed! Just as Mr. Quisling's expedient regime relaxed!

Yes, children, it's time to "relax". Just as the Western Left "relaxed" in the face of clear, irrefutable evidence of Stalin's barbarous atrocities.

But maybe, just maybe, one small voice might make itself heard: Is this wise? As the West descends into apathy and irrelevance, refusing to defend its ancient and hard-won freedoms, I ask you: Is it wise?
