in sports, tests at school and video games, there is always the goal of winning points. i have wondered now and then about what a point actually is. i know it's not a mathematical point or a coordinate point on a map. what do you think a point actually is?

points are used because in grade school it would be impolite to use the bloody heads of your enemies as trophies to keep score

I guess I'd say any of various abstract quantities used in games to determine a score

It's a zero dimensional location in space that meaningfully exists only in relation to other points

I think it's weird when games only award points in multiples of ten, or five or a hundred. Pinball I'm looking at you. Why even have those extra zeroes on your scoreboard? what a waste of orders of magnitude.

Why is a basket two points, should be one point. Then Michael Jordan or Kobes 30ppg wouldn't look as impressive if they was just scoring 15 or so. Rly makes u think

Commie NedFlanders posted:It's a zero dimensional location in space that meaningfully exists only in relation to other points By accumulating points toward our high score, we give them a meaningful existence. So I think the more important question is not so much what they are as why they are gathering and what will happen when there are enough of them...
