I don’t normally like calling attention to stories that talk about a killer who played video games. It’s always a huge logical fallacy to leap. “He played video games”, “he is a killer”, “killers play video games”, or “video games turn people into killers”. It’s a classic in flawed logic. Unfortunately, sometimes it’s better to quash something before the flames spread into an uncontrollable wildfire.

I don’t care who you are, sooner or later everyone asks “when am I ever going to use [insert academic subject] in real life?” And you know what? Plenty of times that’s an extremely good question that should be answered with a “No, you will never use that again, I’m sorry you wasted your time on this frustrating and pointless exercise.” But sometimes, just sometimes, you get an opportunity to use something you scoffed at earlier.
This is a story about a game that I hate and the most recent time I used geometry. |
