The Dizziness of Freedom - Kierkegaard

According to Kierkegaard, when you become aware of the infinite possible choices, you experience the dizziness of freedom.

This leads to a sense of anxiety, caused by the uncertainty in facing the infinite possibilities from which to choose.

DEBRIEFING

In the game, you find yourself in a situation where you are completely free.

You can move your paddle in all directions and even control the one normally managed by the computer.

This freedom, however, makes the traditional game mode meaningless.

It’s up to you to decide how to play.

This freedom only makes sense in relation to other experiences: the game is "free" because you have more movement options compared to the classic version.

The second consideration is more personal: what will you do with this freedom?

Normally, the goal of the game is to win, but here there is no opponent. You have to decide how to play.

You can choose to juggle the ball between the two paddles, trying to keep it in play as long as possible.

Or you can invent new rules or even challenge another person.
