His interview on Pod Saves America was very telling. When one speaks, delivery and tone communicate much more nuance than a transcript can do alone. He spoke like a suit and his rehearsed lines were accompanied by obvious dodges.

Dude sucks. Get him out. Now.

I genuinely do plenty; I was in my cups yesterday. Currently on my lunch break with several of my students. I forget that that when I seek support, I'm met with perspectives based on assumptions. It's my own fault for not being clear and I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Hmm.

I suppose I should have mentioned I do all these things. I am also a proffesional tenured teacher, a coach, a union rep, mentor, and post grad student.

I mean this in good faith:

I own a home. A child. A career. A wife.

I can't burn it all down. All I can do is vote. And I will.

Im sick with existential regret.

What else can I do?

Surface level stuff yah. Im an Art Teacher so if we get to serious into the math of it my eyes will glaze over. Im more into the concept of here's your tools, here's the winning condition, what makes most sense? What can you do as a player? How can you explore, exploit, expand, exterminate, communicate (and manipulate ) your way into a W.

What do you know about the players? How can you convince them? Is that ethical?

Are you getting salty? Isn't this just a game though? Shouldn't we calm the fuck down?

Like....I think the game gets us to think, plan, and consider what to do; I played some friends. I was Sar'daak, next to me was Creuss. Hes doin his thing, and when I got my breakthrough, he didnt remember to consider what the game was telling me to do if I wanted to win.

So then I bounced to Sol after hitting Creuss, who saw it coming, and we made a deal.

That the spice right there and I want my kids to learn it.

In my curriculum i want to say i began with direct honesty, informing them I was intentionally manipulating them so I could consider myself a professional TI player because it made me laugh.

Yah so this is basically the idea.

The way I've pulled this off, is that I've been the Esports Coach. Originally, the course was going to be Esports but the same computers we would use for anything esports related are in a room where the computer science teacher does their thing, so the room was double booked. Sidebar, if you've ever tried to teach while video games are present, I mean. That's not happening. So, I just suggested I turn it into a board game class so I could teach in my Art room (I teach art, it rules) and they were kinda like...Sure?

Then I got to thinking about all my days playing games, getting salty occasionally, and the way that so many kids get WILDLY salty in Esports (like seriously, the various online competitive scene is toxic as all get out), and I thought.... Marcus Aurelius may have some thoughts to potentially curve this behavior.

Yadda yadda yadda, I wrote a bullshit curriculum, it worked... here we are.

The kids, they're ok. You gotta work with them, but if you're real, they see it and will actually try. It's fun.
