An interesting take on the role of procedural rherotic (Gaming)

I actually consider myself to be incredibly open minded, and I continually challenge what I think. I have studied visual art in a philosophical context officially for 4 years, and unofficially ever since then. To me, my views on these arts are as certain as a biologist's view on evolution.


The first and last sentences don't go together. My advice is to keep studying.

Oh really? Any Biologist who came across a piece of evidence that offered an alternative to evolution would change his mind if it was sufficiently compelling. Just like I would change my mind if an argument were compelling enough.

However, as Hume says extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And it would certainly take an extraordinary argument to counter the great thinkers who have written about visual arts and video games.
