That sounds like a complicated way of wishing that if everyone would just take on selfless values, the world could be a better place. But those are a product of very specific cultures and you can't even extrapolate them to the majority of the world's population.
Reminds me of the plot twist in the Firefly movie.
The author closes using another Nerd Culture favorite of Firefly as his example. I watched an bad cam of the Firefly movie on my netbook and the video and audio both kept dropping out. Anyway, I thought it was a terrible movie.
But wait a second, you say, I was watching a bad cam on a tiny screen. Well, yeah, but the story's the same, no? My total experience of the movie, (arg! wtf? stupid half-broken rar files stupid torrent software, etc) contributed to my total impression of the movie. If I'd got to a theater opening night and there a few dressed up in costumes and the crowd was buzzing with excitement, my opinion of the movie might be higher.
Not having an easy mode on video games is like saying 'can only be watched on a big screen'. Theres a sense of accomplishment and pride by the end of the game that, if you were wanting to share in the experience with, that, as some see it, a minimum level of difficulty is required.
(For the record, I did rather like the Firefly movie.)
