Richard, thanks, once more for all of your hard work. I personally feel remiss in not writing positively about this installment, as I have about so many of the others. This is your work, not mine. If this were Evasion 6.5, with the old "Evasion" as #6, I would feel that you did what I would have done, if I had done it, which, of course, I did not.
I used the old Evasion 6 in my senior seminar class in criminology last year at this time. We had to give oral presentations based on our term papers and mine was about the choice to think as a metachoice to explain the contradictory data of the rational choice theory of criminal behavior. So, I was invested in the previous instantiation.
Also, while your video was not concrete-bound, clearly there may be another person nearby who is. Personally, I play games, too. But I understood the point you were making. I especially liked the pun about "character building." That was cute and on target. I was not offended. I did not wonder if you meant me. (And, if I thought you did, I would take the advice to objectively reflect on my life.) In fact, you used some of this same material in both the earlier version of 6 and in others, as I recall.
All in all, this is terrific work. I want you to know that.
For the crim seminar last year, I got Galt's Speech and printed copies of the text to match your video, so that they would not miss a single word. The man who sleeps with sluts and declares that he loves his wife drew a laugh. I think they got the whole thing. Anyway, the professor did, as I got an A on the paper and the presentation.
