Syd is dead-on on the sex analysis of Pong, that of a male-dominated society simulation program.
Some Pong player left his machine running for 10 years to see what progression men and women would make in the future. This simulation of patriarchy produced this video:

I loved this article, like always. I can't wait for more articles in the future.
By the way, are those two locked articles close to being unlocked?

You mentioned me and an electronic signal was sent through Indra's Net. I received that signal and here I am replying to you.
