Tikkun olam (/tiˈkuːn ʌˈlɑːm/, or more classically tikkun ha'olam; Hebrew: תִּיקּוּן עוֹלָם, romanized: tiqqūn ʻōlām, lit. 'repairing the world'), is a religious concept in Judaism, which refers to various forms of action intended to repair and improve the world.

...

In the modern era, particularly among the post-Haskalah movements, tikkun ha'olam has come to refer to the pursuit of social justice,[2] or "the establishment of Godly qualities throughout the world",[3] based on the idea that "Jews bear responsibility not only for their own moral, spiritual, and material welfare, but also for the welfare of society at large".[4] This understanding of tikkun olam has deep roots in midrash, musar, and Jewish thought that connect tikkun ha'olam to building society, loving one's neighbors, and to religious humanism in general.[1]

If you succeed in mass politics you just get to collectively leave the sludge world infested with the detritus of 80 dicks behind afaik

Almost had some success with that as I recall

I use this term a lot. Western Game Apologists like it too. it lets them sidestep the whole "gameplay" and "story" thing.

There’s this repulsive tendency of Redditors to be more engrossed in “lore” and canon than concerned with a story or idea worth expressing.

Wow so glad this latest episode introduced more lore. Also wow can't believe the people saying x, thats just pure head canon. Although the idea of y has now been retconned and isn't canon anymore. It has been fully erased from lore.

Totally agree. It puts the cart before the horse and is done in place of good storytelling and writing.

"World building" in a story should be emergent, not the dominant, driving force.

Imagine if The X Files' pilot episode started with some big "black oil" mystery montage instead of an investigation into the Bellefleur case.

Games made by people who don't actually like to play games and learned about "what makes games fun" by reading theory. Not good!!
