Use of the word 'schizophrenic'

Sphiress	First, I freaking love your podcast and your highly educated and obviously well-read insights into your discussion topics. Thank you! I was struck by the inconsistent use of the word ‘schizophrenic’ in this episode. On this note, though, you accurately reference the role of schizophrenia as a mental disturbance which likely played a role in the founding Christianity zealots who had unreasonable guilt associated with sex as well as delusions of grandeur leading to feeling spoken to directly by god, but then misuse the term schizophrenic to refer to two opposing aspects of society's rules versus activities. I recommend this article for a discussion of the dangers of misusing this word in public forum without some level of contemplation of how it may affect our society's view of serious illness: http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2013/01/schizophrenia_definition_and_metaphor_schizophrenic_does_not_mean_multiple.html quote

lyraellington12	The endless structure gives slope game a strong replay value. There is no traditional campaign that needs to be completed before the game becomes repetitive. Instead, the objective is based on distance and personal performance. Every new run gives players another opportunity to travel farther, survive longer, and improve their previous result. This type of structure works particularly well for players who enjoy chasing high scores. Even when someone has already played many rounds, there is always another target to pursue. The endless format also means that sessions can be as short or long as the player wants, making the game convenient for quick breaks or longer periods of focused play. quote
