The secret to Wordle isn't that it's great, it's that it's a socially acceptable way to say "hello friends, I'm alive today, are you also alive today?". This 1 minute puzzle serves as a pretense to acknowledge your own existence and the existence of friends without the seeming neediness and emptiness of something like posting "hi all" every day. One does not wordle to wordle, but instead one wordles to be seen and to be heard... if just for a single moment every day. Wordle is not a puzzle game but a social/performative exercise in mutual acknowledgement whose main purpose is staving off the empty vacuum of isolation, a vacuum that if left unchecked, will provide comfortable residence to a growing psychological demon of nihilistic existential dread. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif ...

I think it's because it's pretty well balanced to seem like you could lose a lot of the time, and if it doesn't even feel close then it's a round where you feel like you got a crazy lucky guess early on. --- "Like you're standing in front of them with your hands behind your back, and then present a small ribbon-wrapped gift to them."

As a career? And if so what would you mean more specifically? I have a website idea I've been working on for years that involves Bayesian statistics, but that's not logic.

I guess by pursue I just mean trying to solve unsolved problems or something, idk. Yeah, I'm a programmer, so that's about as close as there is to a logic job. The good thing about logic is that it's never wrong. The bad thing about logic is that it's entirely based on premises being true, and there's almost no premises (aside from the fundamental premises of logic) that people accept are true. If you ever want to talk about logic, I'd love to talk more. I had a study group in my college, but nobody showed up but this one person and I basically ended up tutoring them the whole time. lol. I don't know if there are any unsolved logic problems, I do occasionally try to solve a couple famous unsolved math problems such as Singmaster's Conjecture and the Collatz Conjecture. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif ...

Questionmarktarius posted... ..wait, everyone else knows you've played wordle? It has a very easy to use "share" button that copies a non-spoiler version of what you did to the clipboard so you can share it with others. So on my discord for example every day I will post something like: Wordle 256 5/6 And my friends will post their results too. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif ...

Wordle isn't just for saying hi to friends but to our mortality. What, we shyly ask ourselves, have we learned in the first two sixths of our lives? Can we turn the insights gleaned into something meaningful by the time the end comes? Daily we hope so. Many will make it. Some will not. --- "Like you're standing in front of them with your hands behind your back, and then present a small ribbon-wrapped gift to them." Duskmon on the colon ... Copied to Clipboard!
