Today I purchased a tablet for drawing. By now, I’ve got all the tools I need for the beginning of game-development career. Also I have enough literature to learn from. I just need a strong kick in the ass and some time. It would be great if I could buy time like in this animation:
The moral dilemmas of the animation remind me the conversation of two rational adults:
“Do you believe in teleportation?”
“Think logically! Would you invest your own money in it?”
“Not my own! But wouldn’t you find a crowd of stupids who would do that?”
It’s the same with time. There are many levels of information to discuss, from individuals to statistics and back to individuals.
Indirectly speaking, you can buy time.. at the expense of other people’s time. You just need to establish a company, hire employees, and do business. By buying other people’s time, you can save your own time benefiting yourself.
Is it bad?
It is bad if you don’t provide sufficient working conditions, psycologically terrorize and frighten your employees, smother the wish to improve and make one’s career, or even overuse people till death. But it is good if your own purposes are such that they help you as well as a lot of other people. It’s good if you choose such human resources (employees) whose purposes will go on the same way as yours and whom you’ll accept as companions. It’s good if you provide possibilities to learn more and to use the received knowledge for the common purpose (even in a competitive company).
So getting back personally to me, I like my job (to create the web), but I am lack of time for going towards my chosen purpose which is to become a game developer famous for games which influence the awareness of society. I keep telling to everybody that time is just as it is and having no time means nothing else than wrongly chosen priorities. Therefore, I think, it’s time for me to rearrange my priorities so that I could spend at least 8 hours per week practicing game development and blogging about that. I am about to define the purposes for myself to achieve in twenty-ten.
