Would you then be posting your conclusions? Like, if you're gonna do that work on some of these posts anyway... may as well share.

Bravo for bringing the notes. On a first glance, some of these feel like they require subjectivity (like, do we really believe the political spectrum is 1d?), but I agree I could run the computation myself from this.
depending on how much want to do, I have seen kits for ~$30. Pretty sure I've seen some small kits taken for camping, so they can't be too pricy. And if you can't afford it, just start bringing it up around town! Maybe somebody will get excited and do it for you.
Fortunately containers can get bigger =)
While we aren't all the same, there's a difference between things that require holding 8 complicated things in mind at once, and things that require a little language learning and the intelligence to solve a crossword. This is closer to the latter - like doing a crossword in Spanish. You need to know a bunch of little things, but learning them is basically all tedium and not brilliant insights. (Taking these puzzles, creating a dozen new variants, and solving all of those probably does require managing a lot of complexity. But to understand the work of others, is not so bad)
If it's any consolation, you are almost certainly within ~3 years of understanding the solution and a dozen variants. It's not a super deep area. Probably doesn't really require calculus (you need continuous as in 'the lion doesn't teleport; that's cheating', but I think not much more).
I'm a little sad nobody with the relevant mathematics background has jumped in. These puzzles are considered; a simple version is the lion-hunting-man where both have the same speed and infinite turning speed (eg, this paper, where the arena they play in varies).
I think this is the proper way to treat games that you're done developing. My only requests might be:
- Adding a way to self-host an instance (with mod tools)
- Open sourcing (so the community can fix their own bugs)
Not FOSS, but ad free and its been able to find the hidden RSS feeds for things OK. FeedDemon at: http://bradsoft.com/
Probably not what you are after, but maybe someone with a similar question.
Favorite so far was probably Talos Principle 2. It was excellent, best movie of the year. And the puzzles were fun too.
Somebody dropped a fair bit of cash and got Balders Gate 3 running for everyone. It's been big enough to fill a lot of time, but probably wont solve the problem when we're not all on vacation.
But I think blaming children for the fact that all people are unbearable is... idk, you've mistaken a symptom for a problem? Working on the general misanthropy is probably a better start?
Also my impression. Seems like it's manufactured, encouragement not to engage with any of it?
