JASON ROHRER IS known as much for his eccentric lifestyle as for the brilliant, unusual games he designs. He lives mostly off the grid in the desert town of Las Cruces, New Mexico.
He doesn't own a car or believe in
vaccination. The 33-year-old works out of a home office, typing code in a duct-taped chair. He takes his son Mez to gymnastics and acting class on his lime-green recumbent bicycle, and on weekends he paints with his son Ayza. (He got Mez's name from a license plate, and Ayza's by mixing up Scrabble tiles.)

Starting to feel lonely as the world go bonkers over nothing. If coronavirus wasn't "discovered," these numbers would be statistical noise in the ordinary flu season---even in China/Italy. Are we counting deaths due to shutdown and quarantine yet? Quarantine won't even work.

Oh honey no
Things I Care About

I am a big fan of rationalism and effective altruism. I think at some point this century, the Singularity will occur, in which AIs become smarter than people in the non-metaphorical impossible-to-miss way that results in things like planets being dismantled, and that we are currently not on track for this to happen in a way that leaves survivors.

The most effective way for an individual donor to give is through a donor lottery. Giving What We Can has, historically, run one once a year, though they didn't run one in early 2026. The most important object-level issue, for both effort and money to be allocated to, is AI notkilleveryoneism. The situation here is currently looking dire; please read AGI Ruin: A List of Lethalities for a view of how difficult this issue is, and how completely unprepared anyone is to deal with it

My webpages sometimes are linked on the
SA forums (usually relating to either nootropics or Neon Genesis Evangelion; I've poked around the relevant threads looking for useful points or citations or criticism).
Nothing about them ever made me think that the SA forums were unusually insightful or intelligent.

Linguistics, Hermeneutics, and Philosophy
The other influences
• Linguistics: Saussure, structuralism, and the idea that meaning is relational - signs get meaning from their difference from other science
• Hermeneutics: the philosophy of interpretation - meaning is not given but must be read and re-read
• Post-Heideggerian phenomenology: the situated, embodied character of understanding
• Post-analytical philosophy: Wittgenstein on rules, language games, and forms of life
• Adjacent approaches: ongoing exchange with Foucauldian discourse analysis, critical discourse analysis, deconstruction, actor-network theory, etc.

Sixth:

'The heart of the second serpent holds the secret triangular gate.'

'Look at the secret triangular gate sideways and you see the secret Tower.'

There was a moment when I thought big-time video games were on the threshold of trying to seed this as an available creative choice. Some of the biggest games of this period signaled a willingness to move in that direction! But the franchise name still made it onto the box/marketing in both cases
