Global Thermogenic Weight-control
March 27, 2009 Quest No Comments“The only winning strategy is to play!”
I had a bit of a nostalgic time watching the film “WarGames” last night. It seems an age ago when you had to hunch over a tacky keyboard and type in commands to have them displaced on a monochrome CRT monitor. Now we are spoilt for choice in terms of input methods and displays.
Brief synopsis of the film: Boy connects/hacks into a computer to play what he thinks are soon to be released computer games. Innocently challenging the computer to a game he in fact sets off a countdown to World War 3. Aided by a girl and the eccentric inventor, he manages to ” teach” the computer the futility of its intended course of action via a simple game of Tic Tac Toe (Noughts & Crosses) which neither player can win. The computer then simulates every possible WW3 strategy with neither side ever winning. The film ends with the computer stating that “The only winning strategy is not to play”.
What if you were to test out every strategy for the “Global War on Obesity”? Would the conclusion be:
“The only winning strategy is to play an ExerGame”??
