Yes--to you and many fanboy MBAs, killing hookers and unarmed women may be exciting and titillating and profound, while words exalting the timeless wisdom of the Great Books and Classics are "inane" "walls of text." Just as Sauron created armies of soulless Orcs in The Lord of The Rings, the fiatocracy is creating armies of fatherless MBA fanboys in our real world (who plundered/destroyed Merrill/AIG/BEar/Lehman as if they were playing GTA/Fallout).
The fanboy MBAs lack the Zeus/Moses spirit of classic, epic justice; so that they find the glorious Constitution and its epic, classical underpinnings to be nothing more than inane, "giant walls of text." The fiatocracy has succeeded in an epic manner--just look at our soulless games, our soulless culture, our soulless academies, and our withering families and economy, for Aristotle reminds us that "when storytelling declines, the result is decadence."
Do you really think you can chainsaw Aristotle with that Lancer there, or blow away Socrates with your mere BFG? Even if you do, his words will yet dictate tomorrow's renaissance in games:

This is just a reply to a COMMENT on a blog. You can't even tl;dr it. I had to add line breaks to make it readable.
