I can attempt to be a professional basketball player, but no matter how horrible I am at basketball, that doesn't mean that I'm doing it... it means I'm NOT doing it.

If you're playing basketball, and you are getting paid to do it, then you are a professional basketball player by definition. No matter how bad you are.

Watch Star Trek Enterprise episode "Bound" for inspiration from how Star Trek writers made Hegel's master-slave dialectic accessible.

we're doing a collab with MatPat at the Game Theorists on the philosophy of Bioshock!

I thought you said you weren't doing Ayn Rand.

What would be your advice to someone thinking of making a retro styled history-of-philosophy themed indie game ala Dungeons & Discourse?

I am sad. I thought Inception was really fun cinematically. It didn't seem to pose any philosophical questions that weren't already there in The Matrix but I have a "the more movies the merrier" attitude about that.
